If you are running one 4000mah 2s pack at a time, the discharge rate will be much lower then when it was an 8000mah pack. If you run two 4000mah packs in a parralel you'll have the same as it was originally....

Remember you have 6 cells...

What would you want to run them in? Those are 12-15c cells at best, 4000 mah at that spec may not be enough for a 4s setup in a heavier vehicle. What esc motor etc...

Thats what i was concerened with.
Its for a 1/8th buggy and i will need to run them in series.
So 1/2 of that isnt going to be very good.
What would you suggest linc.
Just keep the origional battery and buy another one.

Most likely the best bet... I can still make you a 2s 4000 packs if you want, you may find some use for it...

Go to individuallipocells.com they also have a wide variety of had to get metals such as unobtainium, and must have gift ideas like rocking horse poo.

It would be better to tell us what brand and spec cell you are looking for. Very few mfgs will sell single cells.

I don't know what the hell unobtanium is, but it that website has it then you could probably get anything there - like mcmaster carr...

If you just want 1s pack look on cheapbatterypacks.com. They sell induvidual packs there.
