ok so i have a traxxus 6 cell 1500mah pack and a venom 6 cell 3000mah pack

NEED MORE POWER

can i take 2 cells from the traxxas 1500mah pack and put them in parralel to make a 3000mah so

two batts make 3000mah(like one cell)
now add that 2 cell 3000mah combo in series into the 6 cell venom 3000mah pack

did i just add a 3000mah cell technically even tho there are 8 cells becouse 2 are in parrelel will it act as one 3000mah cell and drain with the rest of the 3000's equally?

........i know i CANT just add 1500mah cells in series to the 3000's thats why i want to parrelel 2 and then add into series

sorry about bad spelling jsut woke up and need to start todays project

thanks!

Good God why ?? Just go Lipo and you can avoid all that mumbo jumbo. Is there a reason you haven't gone to lipo ??

scottperhamjr

NOOOO MONNNNEEYYY lmao

heres the deal here

lipo battery plus charger would be needed thats expensive

i have a nimh charger only goes to 7cell tho

i also only have 6 cell batts so eaither way im in shit luck

so why not destroy some shitty batterys for the test of making a decent battery

as for investing in batterys i would need a new nimh charger to chage bigger cell packs ne way.......

where is the best deal for lipo combos batts n charger dont want ne thing tooooo cheap need good run time and power and a ncie charger


but really could i make that pack without a explosion and would the pack last somewhat decent lifetime i do expect the 300mah to b like 15000mah over time or the 1500 just die completly but this is for fun for now cousl i do it and have a super cell pack for a week or two befor its ruined

Technically yes you can hook them up the way you discribed in your original message.

And +1 on getting a Lipo (try hobby king), and a new charger ($40 EBay, or hobbyking).

Ahhh, the age old money problem. Boy do I understand that one. The figures Shawn gave are legit. Best way to go when you can. Depending on how much you use the truck , the lipo situation will be less expensive in the long run. If it weren't for trading stuff I'd be out of the hobby due to no job right now so I sure understand your situation.
Hey Shawn !! a fellow Hobby King buyer.....Zippy Lipo's rock for me.

I'm not a truck guy so I'll leave that for someone else to help with. In touring cars we run all 2 cell and some folks like big C ratings and mah. Me, I use good old Zippy 4000mah, 2s, 25-30C hard case. I know the truck folks seem to go pretty big in mah and C rating but remember that starts eating into the checkbook. Mo Power=Mo Money !!

BTW, here's a link to a great charger. http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html

scottperhamjr

thanks again

scottperhamjr

wow hobbypartz is a great site.....dont forget to always use retailmenot.com!!!!

scottperhamjr

heres what i have done

venom 6cell 3000mah nimh pack

2 traxxas 1500mah nimh cells solderd together in parrallel

traxxas 2 cell parrallel "pack" is 1.2v 3000mah

traxxas 2 cell is in series with venom 3000mah


so technically i made a traxxas 2 cell pack 3000mah out of 2 1500mah batteries

then that being in series with venom made a 8.4v 3000mah pack

however on my charger it shows it being a 9-10v it has even flashed 11v lil odd but it is charging and isnt erroring out....sooooooooo

did i do it?

i dont know

i put it in the car real fast with that small charge and it revs up real fast then dies out then you can do it again so i think it needed charge

so its charging

ill let you know what happens after a full charge

meltdown? i hopenot
