To increase the current (amperage), connect the cells in parallel. (Positive point connect to
positive point, negative point connect to negative point). The more cells you use, the more
power you get.

Screw point No.1 and No.2 are the
output (see Figure 11 & 30). Positve screw point (No.2)
connect to positive (No.4),
negative (No.1) connect to
negative (No.3), then No.1 and
No.4 are the output at 1.5V
200mA (see Figure 17, 20 &
21). Positve screw point (No.2)
connect to positive (No.4),
negative (No.1) connect to
negative (No.3), positve (No.4)
connect to positive (No.6),
negative (No.3) connect to
negative (No.5), then No.1 and
No.6 are the output at 1.5V
300mA or No.1 and No.2 are the
same output at 1.5V 300mA (see
Figure 18, 20, 21, 22, 23 & 24).

To increase the current (amperage I), formula as follows:
I total = I
1
+ I

+ I

e.g.:(I

)100mA + (I

)100mA + (I

)100mA = 300mA
E total = E
