Best 11.1 lipos for 6 cell 33" mono

[dtacmed]

Dumb ? I'm just now beginning to understand some about C ratings when you say
6S 2p is that (2) 6 cell packs but not in series ?

it isnt a dumb? The only way to learn is to ask. 6s2p would be 2 6s packs running in parrallel. Basically both pos. Battery leads go to the pos. Lead on the esc, and the same with the neg leads. So 2 6s packs at 4000 mah will give you 8000 mah total. Also when runnin 1p, to figure the batts available amperage you multiply the constant c rating with one hundreth the c rating. So, a 30c pack at 5000mah would put out 150 amps constant. With 2p, that mah number would double, but the discharge rate stays constant. Make sense?

[Rumdog]

sorry, multiply by one thousandth the mah not one hundreth.

Thanks very much that makes sense. Currently I'm running (2) 3S in series. or I guess 6S1P ?

Thanks for you help !!

[Rumdog]

Yep, that would be considered 6s1p.

Was ready to go 6S2p and realized my chargers won't do 6 cell Onyx 230. Guess I have to stay 3S2p for a while.

thanks

Nah, just sell your old lipos, and spend the $$ on a new charger. They're cheap!

You can run 6s2p with 4 3s packs too...
