Batteries can be connected in Series or Parallel, series doubles the Voltage, parallel doubles the Amperage.
The Power will be the same.
A good Car Battery can deliver 500 to 1000 amp for a few seconds, if terminals are shorted, it could explode or crack the housing.
A big Battery Bank like photo above, you don't want to be around when a Wrench falls in.

I jumped a 12V to a 6 V once - and got to see a battery explode ... not fun...
