New split pack lipos

[reno911]

I can see American pack manufacturers taking advantage of this.

Doesn't HK usually ship their lipos labeled as a toy anyway. I don't think I have ever received a parcel from them with a lipo warning label on it.

I worked for UPS for quite some while, they never used to carry labels then everything known to have a lithium polymer battery had to have one of these.

Made it real easy for the a holes that worked at UPS to identify which boxes had the Apple products to steal.

Looks to me like you just permanently solder the two short wires together, and attach the long wires to your connector like you normally would. Yes, its a lot of wires - but its where we are at in the technology and avoiding percieved potential problems.

I'm REALLY tempted to cut the heat shrink off and see if they are in fact two completely seperate packs.....

This exaclty what I did. I even CA glued some shrink wrap over the those wires and that whole end of the pack, to keep the wires out of the way. I was even thinking I could carefully pull the wires out of the 2 smaller taps and put them in the 1 bigger 6s tap.

That way I only have to plug in 2 connectors for charging otherwise, it is 4 connections with the Y connector and the main leads!

Just cut open a 6s hyperion ex pack to reconfigure it, and it is indeed two 3s packs.
