   The batteries always produce the sum of their voltages. [evil grin]

   When the batteries are in-line and point in the same direction produce a   
   voltage that is the sum of the voltages of each battery. Higher voltage   
   (with the same current) produces more input power. Reversing one of the   
   batteries screws this up.
