I got my two 2S1P packs wired up and charged today. I bought some sub-C SXS shrink wrap for them, but it's too small. I'll have to get some 3" wrap to fit. In the meantime, I wrapped them with electrical tape. I charged them at 1C, and the charger put 1200mah into each 2S pack. The cells now have a resting voltage of 4.05V each. I hope to test them out in my 12S-powered Stampede this afternoon. Depending on the results, I may need to convert the packs to 2S2P to handle the current. So far I haven't had any luck finding someone with an extra cell, so I may need to buy another V28 pack. If I do, then I'll put the other 6 cells up for sale. Here's a pic of the packs.
