What is the nominal voltage of 6 AAA batteries connected in parallel?

When you connect cells in parallel, the voltage stays the same as a single cell, while the available current (capacity) increases. A AAA cell has a nominal voltage of about 1.5 volts, so six AAA batteries in parallel still provide roughly 1.5 volts, but can supply more current before their voltage drops. The higher voltages listed would come from stacking cells in series, where voltages add up (for example, multiple cells in series can give around 6V or 9V).
