thanks guys!

I don't know if this is what you meant, but I wouldn't mix the batteries (GPs and IBs). As far as making a big 14 cell (or other cell count); it works fine. I have a single 14 cell GP (from RadioShack) pack for my Revo. I basically took two 7 cell rows and put them on top of each other to form a "brick" pack. If you keep the packs seperate, you have to use a Y adaptor to hook them together. But if they are all in one pack, you don't use a Y connector, just the bus bars between each cell. Less connectors and wiring means lower resistance.
If you hook all 12 cells in series, you'd have a 14.4v 3300mAh pack. Series adds the voltages, parallel adds the current. |
