13. Yes, you'd be getting more endurance from the same voltage.

The thicker ones have more total energy in them than the thinner ones, but all of the batteries operate at the same voltage and thus will feed the same power to the bulb. The bigger ones can deliver the same power for longer, though.

The analogy is having two cars identical except that one has a gas tank that holds 20 gallons and the other with a tank that holds 10 gallons. They both have the same horsepower, but one can drive twice as far as the other before the tank is empty.


Now, if you can slip 3 of the thin ones in a slot meant for 2, you'd get 9 volts instead of six, which would boost flashlight power. But if you risk burning out the bulb/LED.
