I have a question, many people on the forum say that they want to run 5S to get longer run time. I was looking at the batteries and cell counts. I was thinking of them as watts = V times A and a 4S 8000 mah battery and a 3S 11000 mah battery has about the same watts and both batteries would weigh about the same so where is the advantage of a higher voltage battery by using more cells. They both have the same amount of energy on tap. You would need a hotter motor for the lower voltage. What is the real advantage of the more cell packs please enlighten me.
