Batteries BATTERY 3 way hook up?

[UnclePete]

Just wondering if i can hook up 3 lipo batteries together.
For example lots of guys use 3 cell and another 3 cell pack, hooked up with bullets.
Can i hook up 3 seperate packs together, 2 cell, 2 cell and another 2 cell?

Yup, you can. If you wire then red to red, black to black, you will keep adding to the mah of the pack. This is known as wiring in parallel. If you wire then up red to black, red to black, leaving one red and one black on teh ends, the mah will stay the same, but your voltage will go up. Just make sure what you are using can handle a 6s pack, or 22.2 volts because that is what you will be pushing if you wire 3 2s packs in series.

...and something that is really nice about the setup is that it's actually pretty easy to do. All you need is some decent soldering skills. I have 3 planes that, when completed, will be running on two lipo's in parallel. Good luck buddy!
