Question about batteries

Post by Maniac_Man »

okay, i have two batteries both rated at 3.6vdc. they're both lithium ions and the same size. Im not sure what the amperage is. one battery is green and has cgr18650a written on it. the other is blue and has the exact same thing on it except the "a" is a "c". do i need to worry about this? or can i just go ahead and wire 'em w/o trashing the battery? thanks in advance!

if you're sure they're both rated for 3.6v, then go ahead and wire them up. If you put them in series then you'll get whatever the lower capacity rating is, if you put them in parallel then the capacities will add together.
