The 6 volt battery might really be a 5.2 Ah, while the 12 volt battery might be 5.5 Ah. Matching amp hour ratings is much more difficult. This can however be fairly easy to read with a volt meter if one was to check.
A 6 volt battery might have a cell voltage of 2.2 volts and a 12 volt battery might have a cell voltage of 2.1 volts. Individual cell voltages differ, even with batteries of the same brand and manufacturer. The reality is that no 6 volt battery is exactly 6 volts and no 12 volt battery is exactly 12 volts. Therefore, all you have done is connected nine 2 volt cells together to get 18 volts … so what’s the problem? A 6 volt battery is often three 2 volt cells and a 12 volt battery is usually six 2 volt cells.

In theory, a 6 volt 5 Ah battery and a 12 volt 5 Ah battery connected in series will give a supply of 18 volts (6 volts + 12 volts) and 5 Ah. This is where most tutorials end, but what happens if you wire batteries of different voltages and amp hour capacities together? Most people simply answer by telling you “Don’t do it!” … but why not? Connecting batteries of different voltages in series As in the diagram above, two 6 volt 4.5 ah batteries wired in series are capable of providing 12 volts (6 volts + 6 volts) and 4.5 amp hours. The basic concept when connecting in series is that you add the voltages of the batteries together, but the amp hour capacity remains the same. Connecting in series increases voltage only For more information on wiring in parallel see Connecting batteries in parallel or our article on building battery banks. This article deals with issues surrounding wiring in series (i.e. Different wiring configurations give us different voltages or amp hour capacities. In the graphics we’ve used sealed lead acid batteries but the concepts of how units are connected is true of all battery types. The illustrations below show how these set wiring variations can produce different voltage and amp hour outputs. This indicates that the battery is not attaining the normal terminal voltage above 12 volts.There are two ways to wire batteries together, parallel and series. If the battery is not accepting charge, Green LED never lights, even after the prolonged charging.

When the battery attains full charge, Green LED lights and Red LED goes off. When the battery is connected to the charger, and if the battery is accepting charge, Green LED goes off and Red LED remains on.If the battery voltage is below 12 volts, Zener remains non conducting and Green LED remains off and Red LED lights.If the battery voltage is above 12 volts (that is the normal terminal voltage of 13.8), Zener conducts and Green LED lights and Red LED remains off.When is connected to the battery before charging the LED indications will be When T1 conducts, base of T2 will be pulled to ground and T2 turns off and Red LED extinguishes. Resistor R1 and Preset VR adjust the base bias of T1 for smooth switching. Green LED lights when the battery voltage is normal or battery attains full charge. This happens only when the battery voltage is above 12 volts. Zener diode ZD is connected to the base of T1 so as to switch on T1 when the Zener conducts. The circuit is based on the switching of two NPN transistors (BC547) to drive the corresponding LED. 12V battery level monitor circuit schematic
