I want to make a 10,400mah 260C 4s pack

1 Attachment(s)

I just picked up 4 2600mah 65C Giant Power lipo’s and want to make a high power 4s brick out of them. It will fit in both my mono’s and hopefully my future 34” carbon mono that should be in in the next couple months:biggrin:... Anyways before I get to soldering all the positive and negative battery leads together I was going to definitely make sure all packs and each individual cell was at the exact same voltage. I’m not sure if I should parallel the balancer plugs or leave those separate, maybe build a balancer harness to use while charging? Leaving them separate I could manually monitor the cell voltages on 3 packs and stop charging once a cell is topped off. Maybe rotate balancer plugs while charging.. I don’t particularly understand how the balancer plugs in the battery is wired and definitely don’t want to parallel them if that’s less safe . I should get 6-7 minutes of runtime with my T29 running a 642x and CC1515 on 4s and that’s running all out , with 10,000+mah. I’d like to here from the OSE inmates on this . Thanks fellas! :tiphat:

If you are charging them together you should parallel the balance leads so they can be balanced together.

Doing this will not give you a 260C pack, it will still be 65C.

676 amp rating? It’s been a while since I did the calculations on Lipo’s, thanks Paul

So I decided to parallel just two packs just Incase I want to run 8s
