Now,, if he had 6 batteries and each one is an 8 volt .. does this
mean he has 8x6 = 48 volts of possible power?  And how does this work
out to amps. ?



For the six batteries you mention to give 48 volts they would have to be
wired in series, i.e. each one positive to negative, whereas in parallel
(positive to positive and negative to negative) they would give you 12
volts, but the capacity would be the sum of the six batterys' capacities.



The OP's suggested 8 volt batteries - if he connects them in parallel,
they'll still give him 8 volts.


Perhaps 3 x 8V = 24V?
