nice stuff, anyways i was talking about discharge current , i want it to be up to 4 amps,, ive read connectin batteries in parallel would increase the capacity but would it increase the discharge current too?
No, it won't...
But what do you want 4A for anyways?
Speaking about parallel batteries is it safe to connect new non-rechargeable batteries in parallel?
at that time the 6.3 battery should supply current alone to the whole circuit,, which is simply not possible
QuoteSpeaking about parallel batteries is it safe to connect new non-rechargeable batteries in parallel?why not
Yes it is possible. When power is drawn above what the battery can produce then the voltage will drop. That allows the other batteries to kick in once the voltage is equal to theirs. For example if you short a battery with 3.6V then across the terminals you will get close to 0V but higher current. You can try this some time. Measure the voltage of a battery with and without a load.
If you connect them directly in parallel and they are not the same voltage one battery will attempt to charge the other and since they are not rechargeable this could be a problem. I just wanted to know if any one knows if this is safe or do you need diodes?
As for the diode idea, I don't recommend it simply cause it reduces your useful voltage.
