I know that the 4s packs in parallel with give more amp discharge.
Is it worth to have double the punch than 2s packs in series to disregard the weight 4s packs have. The total output will be 4s for both setup, but 4s 40C packs will have 320amps compared to 2s 40C packs in series with 160amps discharge.
Will 160amps more discharge rate is enough to oversee extra weight of the 4s packs or will they have little gain.
Thanks again.
The prob with this reasoning is that the motor needs or can even use this kinds of amp levels. The data logging I'veseen shows avgs up around 65amps for large motors with amp spikes of 140-160amps. The amp spikes are within the lipos burst ratings. So theoretically, the increased amps may make up for the weight, but the typical motor doesn't pull those kind of amps. You'd wind up heavy and way over batteried with a sluggish, long run time RC. Now if you're running some kind of giant scale plane motor, that it would be diff deal.
Not sure what your obj is behind the ques, but you may be better off with a HV setup, something like Castles new car ICE controller running 8S when its released.
