Choosing PCM circuits for Li-ion pack

Post by doctorjames »

I have eight 3.7V Li-ion cells that I pulled from a 14.8V 3800mAh battery pack. They are good cylindrical cells and I was thinking about making two seperate 7.4V 3800mAh packs for portables and what not. I was planning on using a simple PCM from batteryspace.com and was hoping I could use it in the new packs. The only question I have is whether I can use multiple cells in parallel and wire that up as one cell (i.e. two 3.7V cells in parallel as each "cell") on the PCM. What's the answer gang?
