When cells are
connected in series, this is done to increase the output voltage while
maintaining the same capacity rating (amp hours). To connect two cells (for
example) in series, we use a jumper wire to connect between the negative of the
first battery and the positive of the second battery. Run your negative wire
off the open connector from the first battery and your positive of the positive
of the open connector on your second battery.

When cells are
connected in series with each other and they are all connected in the same
direction, the total potential difference supplied to the circuit is the
individual potential differences added together.
