walters Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi I've got 2 6s lipo batteries wire them up in parallel 1 is 10.000mh and the other 6600 mh would the total capacity be 16600 or 6600 as you go from the lower one same brand same c rating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 In theory they should remain at an identical voltage, but I wouldn't trust that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 That's my point, in theory the two should stay equally balanced all the way down to LVC, but I wouldn't put money on it. So despite have different capacities, the large pack should be kind of charging the small pack because the small pack will be draining faster. Maybe when I've got some free time I'll set up a test rig with some old cells and see what happens. Until then, I'll leave it in your hands. ?

RadioFish Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yeah in theory if the two packs are the same you add the mAh? Found this sitehttps://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/serial_and_parallel_battery_configurationsHope this has some relevant information dudes.......you win some you lose some its all a game to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
