As voltage increase, so does amperage. IE a 700 motor with 12 cells may pull about 30 or so amps. On 16 cells with the same exact setup the amperage will go to about 40. I don't know the exact reason why but have witnessed and logged it. I'm sure one of the smarter engineer types could tell us why.

Steve he wasn't asking about load , he was asking if it was ok to place in series a 2s and 3s with the same mah.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

IMO, you can mix different cell voltage battery packs in series, if they are the same brand, Mah rating, C rating, style and model etc................. The problem comes when the packs have a different internal cell resistance (ohms). This will cause one pack to get hotter than the other and poof!Last edited by ReddyWatts; 07-24-2008, 05:29 PM.ReddyWatts fleet photo

Just came in from the lake out back, with my sv..running a cheap 60amp esc and the BJ motor with 3s2s or 6s 2200 25c i think...and a modified x440 prop i got 48.2 on my gpsSamuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

I got 49.0 mph with a grimracer 45x68...I think I'll work on the 440 or move to a 640..I noticed the bigger the prop the more it comes out of the water.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment
