Or if the electronics mumbo jumbo is confusing, think of it like this: our batteries are just stores of electricity. Pretend for a minute that we're dealing with water instead (a common analogy). The each battery is like a water tank, and size of the hose coming from the base of each tank determines the flow of the water. Now either you can feed the output of tank A into tank B, and collect water from the bottom of tank B. You will still only have the flow rate of a single hose, but your stream of water will last twice as long. Alternatively you can stick the tanks side by side and tie their output hoses together. That way you get twice the rate of flow, but you could imagine it will only last as long as a single tank would.
