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. wink gross tektronix, inc.
