ericrw Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 How do you connect lipo batteries in parallel. eg,I wish to put together a 2s 2500 mah with another one to make a 3s 2500. Is this possible , even if I increase the mah of the combined batteries by doing so? I've mistakenly ordered a 2s lipo, when I really wanted a 3s 2500. The 2s 2500 is not of much use to me and the models that I have ! Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Eric and several others on the forum mate. PS what you are suggesting is SERIES not parallel Edited By Tim Mackey - Administrator on 09/12/2010 20:22:39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Naylar Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Sorry Eric, I don't want to be rude, but your question doesn't make sense. The 's' in '2s' and '3s' stands for series (not parallel). Putting batteries in parallel increases their mAh but not their voltage. Increase their voltage by adding another battery in series. a 2s battery is 7.4v, a 3s battery is 11.7v. What you seem to want to do is not simply accomplished.

ericrw Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 It does show my ignorance; but no offence taken ! I've always thought the "s" represented the word cell. Does this make my query anymore understandable ? Iam wanting to increase the mAh to make the battery power more acceptable to a model that uses a 3cell 3500 mAh battery. Eric.

Colin Naylar Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Eric, increasing the mAh's will only give you more endurance ie you can fly for longer. To get more power you need to up from a 2 cell Lipo to a 3 cell Lipo thereby increasing the voltage from 7,4 volts to 11.1 volts (each Lipo cell is 3.7v). Sorry I made a mistake by typing 11.7v in my last post. As far as I am aware, you cannot buy a single cell Lipo to add in series with your two cells so I'm afraid you will need to buy a new 3s 3500mAh battery.
