I'm sure.  See the edits my last post.  You're too fast for me!

To keep it simple,
take the energy stored in a cpapcitor that can be discharged over a "constant current circuit" for simplification purposes.

A capacitor charged at 150 volts, discharging one amp, and a capacitor  charged  at 1 volt also discharging at 1 amp.

Are you saying they are storing the same amount of energy?

heh,
The total energy of the system is additive. (energy per battery x number of batteries)

Either 144 volts at 1 amp (in series)

or

9 Volts at 16 amps in (parrallel)

Is the same total energy

Not at all.  I'm say that 16 identical batteries store 16x the energy of one, whether they are series or parallel doesn't matter.  What you're implying is that in series, they store 16^2 x the energy and in parallel only 16x the energy.  See?  It can't work that way.

Exactly right, of course.  So you get to multiply the current capacity only if they are in parallel and not if they are in series.  Right?  Are we on the same page now?  You were multiplying both I and E, which is cheating.
