wiring in series increases voltage
wiring in parallel increases current at same voltage

IIRC

Actually, from the ASCII art it looks like you're wiring three sets of four batteries, giving you only 4.5 V but a longer discharge time.

What you want is:

You've, gotta use </code> tags, even with a monospaced font.

I think ~coxy's right, it looks more like 4.5v to me the way you have it, see if this one makes more sense?

p.s. are you wiring 3 of the 4 AA cell (crap shack) battery packs together in parallel to make a changeable AA cell setup?

edited in the + signs for clarity, I think this is the same as the way I did it, but oriented the way ~coxy intended to do it. His looks like 4.5v to me also.
