In series you will be basically be creating a 4s, 35c, 5000mah battery. If you were to wire it up in parallel, you would be creating a 2s, 35c, 10,000mah battery. In series the c and mah rating stays the same and the voltage doubles and in parallel the voltage and c rating stay the same but the mah rating doubles.I am new to the lipo batteries and I have a question. If I run 2 lipo batteries in series does the c-rating and mah add up? Like if I were to run 2-2s batteries that are 35c and 5000mah will all of that multiply times 2?
Whats the difference between series and parallel? How can I tell which one is which?In series you will be basically be creating a 4s, 35c, 5000mah battery.

The C rating stays the same because the MAH is being double and the C rating is figured in regards to the MAH rating. So since you are doubling the MAH, you keep the same C rating and the available amps is doubled.With parallel, you are basically combining the + and - of both packs together. You end up with the same voltage as 1 pack, but double capacity and C rating.
When in series, the + from one pack goes to the esc, the - goes to the + of the second pack and the - of the second pack goes to the esc. This doubles the voltage, but retains the same C and MAH.
EDIT: @chevys10zr2003 posted an image while I was mindlessly typing.
I'm not grasping the C being the same in parallel. I would have expected that to double as well with the MAH.
Yeah, in my head, "C" rating is amps. While I understand the C rating of the individual packs don't change, I was still thinking the C rating would double like the amps overall.The C rating stays the same because the MAH is being double and the C rating is figured in regards to the MAH rating. So since you are doubling the MAH, you keep the same C rating and the available amps is doubled.

No more multiple subs for this guy. I have enough hearing loss from my Kicker L7's back in the day haha.Great clear info provided here. Good find chevys10zr2003, especially with pictures included. Pictures speak a thousand words. Well, maybe not that many...Everyone can also wire up multiple subs now...LOL
