Actually that is almost a common setup - some of the v8's etc do actually shut down a bank for fuel efficiency...

I worry abut the safety aspect - Even in the video jason was about to plug things in the wrong way around a couple of times and had to correct himself.

I know this setup is only intended at advanced users whilst I do think that it is very innovative my safety concerns for Newbs would personally mean I not recommend it. I would rather get 2 x 2s and a 3s pack with traditional connections and be able to make : 2S, 3S, 4S, 5S, 7S.


Another thought - Chargers I don;t think will like the 20 amps 3,7v setup as they are going to have to do a lot of voltage reduction... vs a 5amp 14.8v charge
