Speeeed Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 i have a mt maverick evo s, which runs on 2s lipo batteries, and i was wondering what the difference was between a 2s2p and a normal 2s, can i still use a 2s2p when my car runs on 2s?????? i want this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=29004 would it need charging differently? Thanks!! Speeeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yes you can. 2s2p simply means the pack is made up of four cells, two in series and two in parallel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 2S .... the S stands for Series. 2P ... the P stands for Parallel. It's different ways of linking up cells in a battery. A 5000Mah 2S battery is using 2 lots of 3.7V cells in series to give 7.4V. That's a basic 2S battery. Each cell is 5000Mah capacity If you have a 5000Mah 2S2P cell, what they have done is to link together in parallel 2 3.7V 2500Mah cells to make a 5000Mah cell. They have then taken 2 of those in series to make a 5000Mah 2S 7.4 battery. It allows them to link together lower capacity cells to make higher capacity ones. Both batteries kick out the same voltage. A plain 2S is simpler ( and I prefer them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 So would a 2s2p be twice as likly to go bad if one cell goes out of balance. Damn if that's true cos im looking at a gens pack 2s2p but now im thinking a standard 2s would be the safer option. By the way gens ace have a 4000mah 25c 2s lipo for just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeeed Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 how long would a 2s2p battery last??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 entirely down to the Mah rating of the battery. The fact that it's 2S2P has nothing to do with how long it will last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 depends on capacity ie mah, terrain, gearing, driving style etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
