You're losing ground fast (pun intended).  Put two capacitors each 
charged to 1.5v in series and you will get 3v. What's the "something else"
that you're expecting?  Most of us can see that a battery is a highly 
non-linear capacitor, and, since they both store charge, it is unlikely 
that we're going to confuse a battery/capacitor with a resistor.
