Batteries connected in what configuration provide a higher current capacity?

The configuration that provides a higher current capacity is when batteries are connected in parallel. In a parallel connection, each battery contributes its individual current capacity to the overall circuit. This means that if you have multiple batteries connected in parallel, the total current output is the sum of the current capacities of all the batteries involved.

For instance, if you have two identical batteries, each capable of providing a current of 2 amps, when connected in parallel, they can theoretically provide a combined current of 4 amps. This is essential for applications requiring a higher current without increasing the voltage.

In contrast, a series connection would increase the total voltage output but not the current capacity; the current flowing through the series circuit would be limited to that of the weakest battery in the series. The combination and sequence options are not standard terms used to describe battery configurations, which adds confusion to the question. Therefore, connecting batteries in parallel is the established method for increasing current capacity effectively.
