BATTERIES

Post by RideZiLightning9 »

Alright, so I already have (2) 7.2 1800mah Li-ion batteries here at home and I don't wanna have to go buy one larger capacity one to replace these. How would I hook them up in parallel so that I don't F anything up?

So I can just hook these up in series? Or do it with a protection circuit and dc-dc 3v to 8v in parallel? There was a thread regarding this stuff and it just made me more confused,

Series increases voltage. Parallel increases capacity. So if you want 7.2V and 3600mAh, then connect in parallel. If you want 14.4V and 1800mAh, then connect in series. (I think you want to connect them in parallel :wink: )
