2 (4s) in parallel, will they fit???

[TheShaughnessy]

I used to just use velcro, now i have pool noodle to hold them in place along with velcro, straps are a good idea. Couple of bad stuffs has split the front of mine because of loose batts. 4000s for fit and a little lighter, the weight doesn't make a HUGE difference but it's definitely noticeable.

Gosh, this hobby is getting expensive, but I love it. Decided on two Nano techs 4500mah 45-90c and some velcro straps from Hobbyking of course, new Kintec flex shaft and offset rudder. To boot, still waiting for my pre-order Mystic to come, but looks like now its late September etc..... which blows. I was planning on running both boats in Meine at my lakehouse in earl Sept. but that aint happening. Whatever, I still love the Geico and still trying to work out the bugs.

whats in parallel how you do that

[wrxwhit]

Wiring in parallel allows longer run times. In order to do do, a parallel connector needs to be made. Somewhere here on the forums, there is a how to on this with pics.

This is how I charge my battery's. In parallel. NB Always Same brand /cell count and mah. NB

Also when I want to make my 2x 4s 4000 into one 4s 8000mah, I use the parallel wire. That way it's still a 4s (for the esc) but you get longer run times.



also have a look at this site.

And if you have , let's say , 2x 2s 4000 mah, and want to make that into 1 4s 4000 for you're boat, you make one of this wires.
