Hi Stijn,

There are two way to connect several batteries. Its paralel or serial. When it is in serial then the voltage will be the sum of the batteries and the same current. When parallel it will be the voltage of one battery but the current will be higher.

I think you can now imagine how it would be with actuators?

Have you taken already a look at the groups directory. There is one for dutch speakers :-)

BTW I would not split the cable but use a plug to connect it to two other cables.

Hi Roel,

Thank you for your fast reply!
So a parallel connection will be a good choice, I will research more around this subject.

And what a wonderful guess, how did you know my mother tongue is dutch?
