okay i have decided to go through with a design someone gave me on here and it seems similar and it is i am just giving you the information of the batery and heres the following
volts:13
amps:0.69
watts:8.97
ohms:18.84057971
all i need to know here is how much resistance should go in each resistor

i am trying to amplify the battery's energy

The way I understand your question is that you can't get a resistor with 18.84 Ohm on the market, because it is not a standard value. But these values are:
10 Ohm
8.2 Ohm
0.56Ohm
0.082 Ohm
So you put all four in series, and you have 18.842 Ohm.
Near enough.....?

you cannot "amplify" the total energy available form a battery.
resistors, in general, WASTE ENERGY because they convert electrical energy into heat. this is why resistors have a wattage rating.
the lower the resistance, the more electricity will flow into your circuit. resistors are generally added to protect other components from excessive current, or to form voltage dividers where a lower voltage or signal level is needed.

You need to provide more detail because your question makes no sense.

If there are n equal resistors in series,
resistance of each reistor = r = 18.84........./n
If they are in parallel,
r = n*18.84.........

9.4203 ohms in each resistor.Connect them in series.
