Default cells in Parallel and series

In article ,
says...

Please I have nine cells which are 2 volts, 2amp each. I need to combine them to get 6 volts, 6amp, which connection is better - connecting 3 cell in parallel (to obtain 2 volts 6amp) then i connect the 3 groups in series or connecting 3 cells in series first to obtain 6 volts, 2amp per set and connecting the set in parallel?


If the most likely fault is one going high resistance or discharged,
that will have less impact with three in parallel...
