Two batteries in parallel yields which specification?

• A. 12 volt 14 amp
• B. 24 volt 7 amp
• C. 12 volt 7 amp
• D. 24 volt 14 amp

Answer: (A)

Two batteries in parallel keep the same voltage as a single battery, while their capacities add together. If each battery is 12V with 7Ah, connecting them in parallel gives 12V with 14Ah total. That aligns with the choice stating 12 volt and 14 Ah. The other possibilities would require a higher voltage (24V) from parallel, which isn’t the case here, or would reflect only the capacity of one battery (7Ah). In a 12V alarm system, using two 12V batteries in parallel is a common way to extend backup time without changing the system voltage.
