gle cell is 15amperes, the current output of the group will be 15 amperes,or the same as that of a single cell. Almost all ignition appa-ratus now on the market requires six volts for its operation,so with cells having a voltage of 1.5 volts such apparatus wouldcall for four cells in series, as 6… … required. A large number of cells will give a hotter spark thana smaller, but the excessive current causes the contact pointsof the igniter or vibrator to burn off rapidly and also hastensthe destruction of the cells themselves. Batteries connected in such a way that the total amperesof the group…
