　　How to connect a battery in Series?

　　The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to thenegative terminal of the second battery, the positive terminal ofthe second is connected to the negative of the third, etc. Thevoltage of the assembled battery is the sum of the battery voltagesof the individual batteries. So the batteries are connected: + to -to + to - to + to -, etc. The capacity of the battery isunchanged.

　　How to connect a battery in Parallel?

　　The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to thepositive terminal of the second battery, the positive terminal ofthe second is connected to the positive of the third, etc. and Thenegative terminal of the first battery is connected to the negativeterminal of the second battery, the negative terminal of the secondis connected to the negative of the third, etc. So the batteriesare connected: + to + to + and - to - to -. In this configuration,the capacity is the sum of the capacities of the individualbatteries and voltage is unchanged. For example, if you take 5 6V10AH batteries and connect the batteries in series, you would endup with a battery array that is 30 Volts and 10AH. If you connectthe batteries in parallel, you would end up with a battery arraythat is 6 Volts and 50AH. By the way, this is how ordinary autobatteries are made. 6 2volt cells are put in series to give 12vbattery and the 6 cells are just enclosed in one case. Many ni-cadbatteries are done the same way.
