For the 5 minutes at-a-time and miniscule power draw of a single cheapo (TRX 2055) servo is it really necessary to make a parallel discharge harness? In a few hours of use it'll draw a noticeable amount of power, but I can't see it causing issues in 5 minutes. One pack will simply have 50 mAH or so less in it. I'll probably be using my MA packs at first anyway and one of them seems to discharge slower than the other anyway.

I never run my lipos very low, they're usually resting at 3.8v/cell when I put them back on the charger. This is in a truck though, it takes extra power to get a boat back to shore.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
