I have a new erbe and this is the first time I have run lipos or anything in series! If I run 2 2s 30c 5000mah lipo, does that mean it will turn into 4s 60c 5000mah or does the c rating stay the same!

Parallel = Voltage stays same, current doubles eg 7.2volts at 10000mah

Series = Voltage doubles, current stays same eg 14.4volts at 5000mah

im pretty sure 30c stays the same

The C rating does not change, period. Its the current that changes.

Series - the capacity stays the same, voltage adds (only doubles in the case of 2 in series), so would effectively have 5000mah 4S 30C lipo.

Parallel - voltage stays the same, capacity adds (only doubles in the case of 2 in parallel) - so would have effectively a 10,000mah 2S 30C lipo.


If you are charging 3 or 4 lipos in parallel you'll do it wrong unless you understand that they add together.
