The discussion centers on the power configuration for a lunar roving vehicle, specifically regarding the use of two batteries without exceeding 9 volts. It is confirmed that if the batteries are connected separately to power the front wheels, the voltage remains at 9 volts rather than summing to 18 volts, which would occur if they were connected in series. This distinction is crucial for the design criteria of the vehicle.

Darth Frodo said:I must design a lunar roving vehicle. One of the criteria is that the electric power cannot exceed 9 volts. My teacher said that is I have 2 batteries powering the front wheels separately then the power remains at 9 volts and not at 18 volts. Is this true?
Thanks!
