I currently have a 20c 4000MAH 3s Lipo battery. I have a proboat impulse and requires 2 lipos. Do I have to get the exact same battery to run or will I be ok with say a 25C?

You really should run 2 of the same batteries.

No. Battery specs must match at the very least. I will not run batteries together that are not same brand and same # of cycles, as well as same exact specs.

You need 2s batteries anyway, the higher c the better, 4000 mah will get you 3-4 min runtime tops.

I already have 2x2s Dynamite 30C 6000MAH Batteries.

I have a Venom 3s 20 4000MAH battery at home I use for my truck. I want to get another battery to see the difference on the boat. 3-4 min run time is no big deal, I'm trying to get speed runs accomplished anyway.

I've ran 2 different batteries in the past for quick speed runs, everything is done at your own risk.

What boat is it. Almost any rtr will fry on 6s..

Thanks. Nice vid. That's a nice area you have to run in.

Being in Orlando, I have a plethora of lakes to choose from. That video right there is running on 4s.

From the research I've been doing 5s may be ok with a bec but no guarantees.

I'm confused at how I could even run 5S since the ESC already has parallel connectors.

To run 5s you will need to make a jumper out of a dean's by soldering a piece of wire across the posts on the back. Then get a 5s battery.
