Most batteries are rated at 2v 6v or 12v so you will need to connect them in series in order to reach the voltage you require. Many commercial batteries which offer higher voltages are made by connecting lower voltage cells in series.

How to connect 4 6 volt batteries in series. For example a 6 volt battery could be produced by connecting four 15 volt cells together in series. In our illustration we show four 4 6v batteries with 225ah wired together. Cut a piece of copper wire around 6 inches long and using wire strippers remove 12 an inch of insulation from each end. Each set is wired in series creating 2 banks then the 2 banks are wired together in a parallel configuration. The result would be a battery bank that produces 12v and 450ah. Connecting batteries in series means connecting the terminal of the first battery to the terminal of the next battery.
For example if a 3v and a 9v battery were wired in parallel the output voltage would be 6v 93 divided by 2 however the current will be total amperage of all batteries in the circuit minus any losses. Each battery you connect in series increases the voltage of the battery bank. In this case we can see that 896 mua and 706 mua produced a collective current of 1384 mua or about 216 mua below our expect 160 mua.
