Serial 4s2p saddle pack?

[standard_63]

If I have two identical 2s1p packs that have been balanced, could I bypass using a y-connector and just hardwire the two black wires to each other and the two reds to the Dean's plug? or am I looking for an explosion? :007:

(forgive me, it's late and I'm on pain meds....and the truck is out of commision due to fried 9920, so I'm dreaming up new configurations) quark125b on the way!:002:

I might just run a single 4s pack on one side, but dunno how the balance would be on a supermaxx with a single 1950 on one side...

If you put the red and the black wire together, it's parallel.

If you want them in series, you need to hook up the red of one pack to the black of the other, and the remaining blanck and red are your + and -

and a 4S2P pack uses 8 cells, and you only have got 4 cells in total.

Rene that sounds bad. :eek:
If you hook the two reds and two blacks together it is parrellal.
Black to black and red to red.
Just trying to make it clear. Didn't want to see no fire accidents.

Lol!

that is bad indeed. I meant red on red and black on black of course..

Ok, so what I thought originally:

black to black, red to one side of deans and other red to other side of deans.

Does it matter which red goes to which side of the deans plug? For a serial setup I want.

So I would end up with a 4s1p pack if I put 2 x 2s1p together?

It is red to the pos side of dean from first pack. black from second pack to the neg side of dean. Then hook the pos and neg that remanin together for a series connection.

Ah, I see. I did not read Serum's first post closely enough...

And in series it would become 4s1p because there are no parallel packs in there, right?

And if I wired the two 2s1p packs red to red and black to black for parallel, would they then become 4s2p?

[squeeforever]

No, that would make it 2S2P.

Ah, I'm getting now. Thank you much for your patience.
