In a 2 volt battery, you're right. In a 12V battery, they're connected
in series, each set producing 2V. Larger plates increases capacity.

I was refering to a single cell.

A 12 volt battery is 6 cells of 2 volts each. So inside each cell the
plates are parallelled for more current, and then the cells are
connected in series to provide the voltage needed in a complete
battery.

I hope everyone reading this thread now knows what I was trying to
say.


Thank You,

OK I'll try some fancy ASCII art work too: :-)

| - + | | - + | | - + | | - + | | - + | | - + |
---| - + |---| - + |---| - + |---| - + |---| - + |---| - + |---(+)12V
| - + | | - + | | - + | | - + | | - + | | - + |

There is your 12V "BATTERY" with multiple plates in each "CELL". :-)
Aint ASCII art fun?
