this is a dumb question but...

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

To put it simply...

When you wire the batteries in series (connect positive to negative in a chain), you increase the voltage. In your case you would need 10 of these batteries to make 12 volts. (1.2 x 10)

Wiring them in parallel (all the positive leads tire together, all the negative leads tie together), you basically make a big battery. You add together the battery capacity. Let's just say each of your batteries is 1000mah. In this case you would have a 1.2 volt, 10,000mah battery (10 amps).
