Scorpion packs

I was curius as to what limitation s there where in hooking up multiple packs in series and parallel. The following is the response from Kokam/FMA.

"The Scorpion packs were tested up to 4 in series, making an 8S pack. There should be no limit in parallel configurations, keeping in mind current limitations of the connectors and wire. The ESC and receiver wires are daisy chained through each pack to ensure the LVC works on each pack. The charging must always be done on single pack disconnected from the system. This is due to the common ground of multiple chargers shorting stuff when connected to multiple series packs at the same time.

JOHNNYMAXXIMA - Did you see that the Scorpion packs could be wired up to 8S?

For what you're asking, FMA makes the BalancePro HD lipo line now.

You can buy a single pack from 2s1p 7.4V 3200mah up to 6s3p 22.2V and 9600mah, with all of the benefits of the Scorpion system - up to 3C charge, 20C discharge, balancing, low-voltage cut-off.
They also say this in regards to BalancePro HD
"Additionally, custom BalancePro HD packs can be
configured to fit your individual needs.
Please contact our Technical Support team for
that special pack you have in mind."

The Scorpion packs are for the people who want "normal" voltage :)

Batfish, the balance proHD packs don't have a LVC, but they have one for it seperately

Papa,
Have you made up your mind yet if you are going to get these or not?
