Re: Non Frc: Electrical question series and parallel

It's generally not a good idea to put a different number of voltage producing cells in parallel. Exactly what you'll get out of it, depends on some interesting things involving internal resistance, etc.

If you "split" a cell, it will produce the same voltage, with half the current of the original cell available from each new cell (assuming you split it in half)

Each cell will always provide the same nominal voltage, and the current is relative to the size of the cell.
