Naw, most if not all are 2s. Both packs I have are two cell. But one of them doesnt' have balance leads. So I don't know if I could put them on or not. I have no problem taking the shrink wrap off and adding the leads. I'm researching right now to see where I need to add the wires. This pack is the Protek 2000. I just got the Common Sense V2 1500 yesterday, it has a balance lead, but Common Sense says it is reverse polarity from their first version. Still researching this also.

Looks like there is 4 cells in these batteries but I think they are wired up in a 2s2p configuration. Not really sure. So this make them a 2 cell. I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong.
