No, they can't be stacked because the connector terminals are located on top of the packs. You'd have to have them offset by about 1/2" to be able to plug the 4mm connectors in both.

No, you need an adapter specific to the Trakpowers. If you don't have a V-Balance already, you can buy a version that comes with the Trakpower adapter included. It will also charge their standard Flightpower Lipos with the proper harnesses. Also, it's $5 cheaper than the standard V-Balance and then you don't need the $7 adapter harness for the Trakpowers. If you plan to order Trakpowers, speak with a gentleman named Jack at Duralite...very helpful guy and will make sure you get what you need.
