If you want 7.4v then your batteries need to be in series and not parallel :)

And where is the protection circuit for the Li-po's?

I don't understand the question. Where do you have the P+ and P- hooked together ????

oh the switch.. I dont know nothing about these swicthes, thats why im asking, so lets say I turn the switch on or off, will the voltage ever come back to the battery causing a short circuit?

Not as long as the switch is hooked up where flipping it ONLY causes the positives to connect.

I assumed you knew which pins on the switch were the ones that made the connection when it was turned on.

Of course you can't wire it where the positive and negative are connected when the switch is flipped on. :roll:
