how many amp/hour can a small 1.5v produce? If u link 6 together to form a 9v, would the amp/hour change or only the voltage?

Depends on the type of battery, but NiMh batteries get about 1.7 amp-hour.

Linking 6 in series gives you 9v at 1.7 amp-hour and linking 6 in parallel gives you 10.2 amp-hour at 1.5v (actually, NiMh are more like 1.2v).
