I know the ideal solution is to build some 3s2p packs, and have the gear on it's way to do so, so this would only be a temporary (maybe 2-3 wks) solution.

Could it work, or is it asking for trouble? I realise dropping to 12awg may cause some resistance, but based on the amp draw I am getting, I don't think it'd be a markable issue, certainly when I ran lipo packs with 12awg plugs there was never an issue.
it should work. i've seen people put 3 6 cell ni-mh packs in series like that.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
