Large capacity lipo packs no longer?

[Himalaya]

Just permanently parallel two packs together, include the balancing wires, and shrink wrap them up. So that you got a 2P config. You can have 10Ah or any bigger capacity pack if you like.

Don't worry just yet guys, lipo manufacturers found a way around and are already selling "Dual" packs. They are 2 packs, each one below the Hazardous Material limit, combined in one large pack that you just have to connect the 2 pairs of terminals in series (or parallel).
Check it out (prices are good too)

This of course you can D.I.Y. with any pack you can get, connected as you like and shrink tube it as one.

That's allo well and good but extra wire, extra connectors, etc. mean more resistance, less performance. Too bad.
