If two 12 volt 7 amp batteries are wired in parallel, what is the voltage and amperage?

When two batteries are wired in parallel, the voltage remains the same as that of an individual battery, while the total amperage (current capacity) is the sum of the amperages of both batteries. In this scenario, each battery has a voltage of 12 volts and an amperage of 7 amps.

Since the batteries are in parallel, the voltage remains 12 volts. To find the total amperage, you add the amperages of the two batteries together:

7 amps (from the first battery) + 7 amps (from the second battery) = 14 amps.

Therefore, when wired in parallel, the configuration results in a total of 12 volts and 14 amps. This is why the correct answer is that the system provides 12 volts and 14 amps.
