series and parallel

[jlustig83]

with two 6 cell nimhs how many volts would i get running in parallel to a mambamax esc. would the volts be the same in series. and where can i get a good deans ultra series wire to run two battery packs to my mambamax esc. oh and thanx for the help in my other nimh thread.

Parallel would be double the mah, and the same voltage

EX: 2 3000mah 6 cell packs in parallel would be 6000mah 7.2v

while 2 3000 6 cell packs in series would be 3000mah 14.8v

Here are adapters already made with deans plugs:

Series

Parallel

Parallel: Voltage is the same, capacity adds. EX: Two 3300mAh 6-cell packs would be 7.2v @ 6600mAh.

Series: Voltage adds, capacity stays the same. EX: Two 3300mAg 6-cell packs would be 14.4v @ 3300mAh.

Most people just make their own Y adaptor, but if you want to buy one, there are available at many places...
