    It also says enabling a higher current draw

    Show me otherwise in black and white. not just 2 different packs. When combining multiple packs in parallel.
    I am not saying that. Paralleling will allow you to draw more current. Each battery will actually only see half the current. I just do not want some reading this forum that is new to get confused. If they try to parallel 2 packs and also think that the "C" rating is doubled from 10C to 20C along with doubling the mah capacity from 2000 to 4000. If they try to draw 20C from the parralled cells they will wreck cells.

      Too late...
      I already got confused.
      LOL

      Note to new people: Just because the packs are internally parallel, doesn't mean you can double the current/mAh/"C" listed on the pack. We are talking about more than one pack in parallel.

If I take two 3s 11.1v 2400mah @ 12c & parallel them. I will then have 3s-6p 11.1v 4800mah with a 24c rating correct? Then if I take that set run it in series with another set Id get 22.2v s6-12p 4800mah @24c correct ??? Man I have a head ache. By the way total weight will still only be 612g. Total cost shipped 92.96 shipped per set. So for under the price of a singe Neu pack I can power the entire boat..For under the cost of 2 packs I can power the boat twice.... Just lookin for a safe lower cost sport setup to hold me over untill I can aford race packs this winter.
        What about the 10C Poly RC packs on Battlepacks. For a couple dollars more you would be able to get two 4000 mah packs.

          they are twice the price @ 45 bucks a pop. They are what I had in mind first. But I found sets for the same price as a single pack. When I have more money I will pick them up. For now I have only one set of packs after selling off all my Nimh. I need numbers...will I get burned as so to speak...we will see.

                They must be 2300s.

                  I read to expect 20+- cycles if you use the highest cont. C rating during discharge, go as big as you can afford Imo.
