Ok I want to explore this a little. I under that running two lipo packs in series will give more power and parallel will give you longer run times.
my question is when doing this do the batteries have to be identical. I know it’s the safe way but that’s not what I’m asking. Example : series- 6s 5000mah 100c + 2s 5000mah 100c = 8s 5000mah 100c?
parallel - 6s 5000mah 100c + 2s 5000mah 100c = 6s 10000mah 100c ?
Do the batteries have to have to same specs to safely run them in series or parallel? I’m not trying to blow my poop up or burn out my equipment here. I’m trying to grasp more info on running series vs parallel. I have a few different lipo batteries.
(2)spektrum 6s 5000mah 100c soft packs, 2s 5000mah 100c hard pack, 3s 5000mah 100c hard pack.
power hobby 6s 6500mah 100c softy,
HRB graphine 6s 6000mah 100c softy.
Orion 4s 7200mah 15.2v 120c hard pack
I’m trying to figure out which ones I can run in series for 8s vs which ones would be safe to run parallel (if any).
Thanks. I hope this makes sense. I’m usually a one batt per rig but looking to safely expand on powa!!
