Question for the li-po geniuses

[Zach8202]

Alright li-po geniouses, I have a question for you. I have two identical 10c 11.1v 1800mah li-po packs (same brand). My question is, what is the easiest and safest way to parallel wires these boys. Can you simply buy or build a y-harness or is there some better, safer way out there. Also, if you did this would it drop the discharge rate, and if so are there any additional implications I need to consider with other electronics (such as the esc cutting off at an inncorrect voltage/time)Thanks!

Attaching the batteries in parallel with a custom Y-harness should be a rather safe undertaking. There will not be any adverse effects from discharging the batteries in this manner.

Depending upon what type of charger you have it will probably be best to charge the batteries separately.

Just remember that the additional weight of the extra battery will make your chopper respond slower.

make sure that you put the batterys in parrel because if you put them in series its a whole different situation! ( yo zach what city do you live in indiana i live in carmel)
