  1. wait, charge? do you mean make it light up?

    if so, you will need something to step up the voltage to 110 volts I think... how many amps do your batteries have? if each one has less then 6, it will not work. watts is amps times volts, therefore if you hook up your batteries in series and have it 10 volts (5+5) that is 10*6... 60. just remember that there is energy lost in stepping up the voltage. so heres what you will need

    wire

    voltage stepper-upper... a transformer

    2 5 volt batteries with 6 or more amps

    wire positive to positive, negative to negative on thhe battery, with wire coming off each. hook those wires up to your transformer (which must convert 10 volts to 110...), then hook up a light socket to that and insert the light bulb...

    good luck, that should work


  2. you'd have to hook the batteries up to some wires that go to a light socket.

  3. I think that you are using the wrong word. You can only charge battries. If you mean to light up the bulb then you could get bulbs that work on different voltages and you could get one that suits your batteries or you could convert the voltage of your batteries by using an invertor. An invertor can change dc current to 220v ac.

  4. With all due respect, you need to ask a "serious" question in order to ask for serious answers.
