Hi Chuck:
Hope this helps. A simple drawing of early Ford 6V engine circuit with all switchs open. No current flow from battery. Hook a 12V battery across a 6V battery, + to + and - to - you now have a series circuit and current flow from the 12V battery through the 6V battery. Low voltage but high current, feel not good to have battery acid on bear skin.
