Q about li-polys or batteries in general

Post by Turbo Tax 1.0 »

topday i left my snesp in my car for about 30minutes and when i went back it was toast :( i took a look inside and i think it was one of my batteries. they are both giving off voltage but one of them looks a little thinner on one side and thicker on the other. does anyone think i should worry about this or is it okay for li-polys to warp a little bit. i think it is from my case being a little to thin. the other battery works and looks fine still i think because of its placement, but if i decided to get a smaller li-poly abd wire it up in series with the 6A one would i have any problems?

well i guess it would be ok if they got protection circuits, but youre always going to be draining the smaller cell deeper than the bigger cell... it would stress it out, youd have to careful about that.

As a rule, it's not good to wire different capacity batteries in series. Are you sure you want to risk your batteries blowing up? :?

Yeah don't blow this one up I like it :P Just buy a new one of the same kind. By the way does the accual thing still work or is it all the way busted? EDIT: I forgot did you fix the sound with that amp or did you just figure out the problem.
