well i called a123 to see if i could change my order (didn't have confirmation that it had shipped yet) to take one of the 2s2p packs out and replace it with 2 of the 3s1p packs, but alas - they were too quick. it was shipped already. so for the time being, i'll be running 4s instead of 5s.
so, i do plan to go up to 5s2p with the a123 cells...which is still only 16.5v. it's going to be on the heavy side...10 cells total, but i'm fine with that.
my question is this: can anyone see a downside to building a deans parallel connector to connect 2 packs that are 3s1p on one side? i would think it would be fine, just wanted to make sure. i could also tear a dewalt pack apart and build a 3s2p single pack, but i hate soldering. i'm ok at it, but i hate it.
