Using a multimeter I have been playing around with two 1.2v batteries to learn about batteries in series and parallel configurations .
My understanding is that when two identical batteries are placed in a series , the voltage should double and the amps should remain the same. However, I must be missing something because when I join two batteries in series (see pics below) my multimeter says the amps have increased. Could someone please explain what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
