    Different capacity mah can use parallel plug together to play ?

    Dear all master ,

    I have a question don't understand and very confuse . I have 7.4 v
    4400 mah 65 c lipo . I hope make more time to run . So , my friend
    told me use parallel plug connect another same volt and C rate together
    to play . You may get more time to play . My question is if I use 7.4 v
    1800 mah 65 c parallel plug connect to another 4400 mah 7.4 v 65 c
    Lipo . That's mean will be change to 6200 mah 7.4 v 65 c lipo ??
    Is it correct or wrong ? Or it must be use the same capacity mah lipo
    to make it ! Would you please any master give me advise and recommend to me !!!! I really hope the correct answer to make my decision . Thank you so much ervery one !!

    In theory, yes you can do that. In practice, I don't know anyone who has actually run with unequal cells in parallel.

          Correct, here's a pic of what I have used. Larger lipos in back series for 10s, smaller in front also series for 10s. Both these parelleled to add together mah.
