I got my schulze today..man it is half the size of the astro 109. Hard to believe they got that much capability and juice in that small chassis.

I get what you are saying, about not using different voltage packs in parallel with each other but think of it this way. I am going to combine 3 2S packs in series to get a single 6S set of battery outputs. I will then connect 2 3S packs together in series to get a single set of 6S outputs. These will then be connected in parallel and I should not have any issues.
I agree that I would be better off getting a 6S2P pack and then some 2S and 3S packs also. But I am looking for a little more flexibility with my packs. I am spending a small fortune anyway, I can't justify the extra bucks for the monster lipo packs that only have one vehicle use. The schulze has a nice feature I will research some more and post about it. It is supposed to charge individual cells or packs to be joined into a larger pack to a level that will be consistant with all of the other cells in the pack. Basicially used for if a cell in a pack fails, to get it prepped to a level to be consistant with the other cells already in the pack. The biggest thing I have to watch out for is a cell or pack that is not able to keep its voltage consistant or discharge rate consistant with the other cells.
Right???
Anyone else tried anything like this??
I am gonna get some IBC 3800 packs for a back up plan anyway.
