Hi, connecting battery's in series 0r parallel, exactly what dose that mean, is series (end to end ) and is parallel (side by side). Can someone please let me know as I do not want to damage the battery's. Regards bazza.

One thing you should be careful of is when you connect batteries in parallel, you need to provide fusing or similar protection in case of a shorted battery. This is particularly true if you are going to be charging the batteries.
For batteries in series, you may need a charge controller that can read individual cells to prevent imbalance when charging.
