Well if that's all true that is great and would make sense.

Ya think an extra 500mah is worth it ? 5000 $205. VS 5500 $237.

I 'll search in tutorials again


Sure dont make getting a battery easy do they
Those are closeout prices...

If you run a pair of the 3200 5s packs in parallel you have a 6400 25c 5s pack. For around 150 shipped. You cannot beat this deal. I am a battery expert (of sorts) and can safely say that...

I would buy some more lipos from there, but I have my money tied up right now...

Lipos wired in series (+ to – ) will increase the total voltage. For example, two 2s lipos wired in series will create a 4s lipo. The mah capacity will remain the same.

Lipos wired in parallel (+ to +, - to -) will increase the total mah available, For example, two 2s 5000mah lipos in parallel will create a 2s 10,000mah lipo. The voltage remains the same.



Please explain how you series these batteries to get 5000mah but only get 5s ?

yep sorry , I had to read a few times sorry , I just returned from getting my taxes done, yawn headache.


EDIT correction:

It's a 64amp 20c each , if Paralleled it doubles to 128 amp continuous

Two 5000mah 5s 20c (64amps/128brst) / divide by 1000 is 128 amps continuous /256 burst
or
Two 3200 5s 20c Packs = 6400 5s 128 amps continuous

It's 80amp c each , if Paralleled does it double to 160amp continuous ?

gonna need 120a
Yep double the capacity (mah) and you double the amp output. The C rating remains the same as that is related to the individual cells.

Wow man thank god you are here, seriously, thank you for explaining this. let's rap this up
So it's a great package to run and it will produce how much continuous amps ? 160 amp or 125 ? or 128 20c + 64amp x 2 =128 .. which is plenty for a 2200-2383 KV to provide speeds above 55mph on a less than 10lb car ? ?

So now it's a matter of deciding on

Two packs of 5s 2500 at 30c 70amp = 5s 5000mah 140amp
or
Two packs 5s 3200 at 20c 64amp = 5s 6400mah 128amp

What amperage is good ?
does the 140 give more available power or speed and cooler temps but less run time than the 6400 ? ?
or is the 6500 128a plenty of needed power for motors and cool temps ?

The 3200 packs are actually 25c, the pic is wrong. So they would be good for 160 amps cont if you run 2 5s packs in parallel. If I were you I would get the 3200 packs. Longer runtimes, more amp capability and the price is not much different.

125 amp capable 5s lipo is good for just about anything up to 8th scale geared for less than 50mph. ( I have figured this with multiple setups in dozens of vehicles) Neu lipos are good for their rated specs, unlike other brands.

As linc said, you are not going to really tell a diff in punch between the two. I would just go by what fits your app better. The 2500 cells are good (I have some) but they are short packs and somewhat tall. The others will lay flatter.

The 2500 packs is what got my crt.5 past 60mph. Either those packs will get an 1/8th to 50 if the motor and gearing is right.
