Title: doubling 2 3s batteries to make a 5,000map 6s battery
Post by: amackles on September 09, 2014, 08:37:18 PM
Hello guys Ben here,

 I've now finally made up my mind to spend my money on the new v2 fa/18 super hornet by motion rc. It is the same plane as Dylan's except it is an f18. I was gung ho about buying it until I saw the price of a 6s battery. I'm wondering with the f18 can I dual set up 2 3s to make a 6s? I've done it in my Katana MX but am wondering if it would be any different with ducted fans. Please tell me if I should try this set up or not :D

-Ben

Shouldn't be a problem Ben.  But, keep in mind you need two batteries that are the exact same.  And, you need to make sure they have enough C rating for the engine's draw ...  one pack is always best, but hooking up two in series will do the job!
