Using 2s & 3s battery, possible??
 

Wassup guys, i have a hpi savage flux hp and usin a pair of 2s/5300mah/25c lipo batteries and i noticed one of my lipo batteries is startin to bubble, i think its bcuz i didnt balance it right..anyways i have a spare lipo battery which is a 3s/3200mah/25c, is it ok to pair my 2s lipo with that spare 3s lipo i also have?? Any help will b appreciated thx!!

The way the Flux is wired, it puts whatever is connected to the esc in series. To run lipos in series, they can be diff cell counts, but they have to be the same capacity and should be about the same C rating and have about the same number of cycles. Ideally, they should even be same brand.

You can't mix a 5300mah 2S and a 3000mah 3S.


I run a 2S 5000mah 25C and a 3S 5000mah 25C pair in my Flux, its my fav, like the way it runs.

Dam it! Everything the same spec except the mah's on my lipos lol..yeah imo 5s would be perfect for me..4s is good but not good but i feel like it needs a tad more power and and i tried the 6s but has way too much power so i think 5s will be perfect..good lookin out with the advice Duster!

Thats pretty much what I've found - 6S is hard on the truck, truck needs a lot more attention to run 6S all the time, drive train takes a beating, esp drive cups and dog bones. 4S has gotten kinda tame and 5S seems to be the best of both worlds, more speed, torque, but not as bad on maintenance as 6S seems to be.
