Hooking batteries together?

Can someone give me an outline of how to hook batteries together to make a battery pack? Such as ; hooking 4 AA batteries together, or hooking 4 AAA's, or two 6 volts, etc.

Answer:

Connecting cells in series causes the voltages to add. If you want a 6 Volt battery pack, connect 4 cells: (-) end of load, - cell +, - cell +, - cell +, -cell +, (+) end of load [A diagram would be better, but I can't make one here.]
