    Mixing brands of Lipos

    Is there a problem with doing that? Will it affect longevity of the lipo's

    That is tough. If running in parallel in my opinion you are perfectly safe as long as you leave room and aren't pulling 100A from 100A packs. Running them in series may result in shorter life out of one pack. It is okay to do but keep an eye how many mah you are putting back. Also as long as they are rated nearly identical it is most likely safe. Could be the same cells anyway depending on brand.

      Thanks, I figured I would run 2 of the same brand on the one side and 2 of the other brand on the other side.

        They should be the same mah. Also, no 10C vs 20 C mix.
