Amperage and MAH how is it doubled ?

Another way to keep is straight in your head is just noting that a given battery equals a discrete amount of energy (& power.) Hooking two batts in series or par does not change the total amount of energy, ie it is two units.

EG. Energy equals power*time or (voltage*amps) * time.
A 3S 5Ah cell equals--> 3*(3.7V) *5Ah= 55.5Wh (watt hours)

So if you take two packs, the total Energy is 111Wh no matter what.

Series: ie 6S 5Ah--> 6*3.7V*5Ah=111Wh
Par: ie 3S 10Ah --->3*3.7V*10Ah=111Wh

You know the guy at the hobby store was FOS, bc according to him:
2x 3S 3Ah packs in series = 6S 6Ah... try the math
3S 3Ah= 33Wh => two packs =66Wh
LHS "magic packs": 6S 6Ah= 133 Wh... nope, fail. You didn't somehow create energy just by changing wires. If you could you'd solve the world's energy problems and win several Nobels for overturning fundamental laws of physics. lol

woosh over my head. I'm not at that level yet.

So regardless of Series or Par I still need a 30c which ever way I go ..?

If the 2200kv is 1250 watts DO I just need 1300 watts of battery power ?

If you think you need 1250 watts of power to the wheels and you plan to use a motor that is 85% efficient then you will need some thing like 1500 watts of battery power

1250/.85 = 1470

Now the problem iswhere did you get the 1250 from? Someone told you that? Doing the math will get you the numbers, but there are no hard and fast rules on what numbers apply to what vehicle due to the giant amount of variables.

Best to list your setup and intended use and we will do our best to suggest alternatives for lipo power.
