using 2p

[ezhitz]

I was wondering would running 2 - 2s 2650 mah packs as 2p be better then or same as running one 5000mah 2s pack. Looking at the turnigy nano-tech.
thanks

better 5300 mah with twice the current available for discarge

[forescott]

I don't know about twice the current. Assuming the c-rating is the same the 5000mah pack would put out 150 amps @ 30c rating (5.0 x 30 = 150a) and the 2650mah packs in parallel would supply 159 amps (2.65x30 =79.5amps each x 2=159amps)

The 5000mah i'm using now are 30c but i notice the nano-tech are 25c

[forescott]

They are 25c but probably have a 50c max rating instead of a 40c max on your 30c lipos.

Thats true so for about $12.00 a pack i will grab a couple to try.
Thanks

"using 2p" ...





My hand!

Current (C rating) does NOT change by paralleling, etc. Only the mAh doubles in a 2P, volts in a 2S.
