RE: lipo parallel question
It matters for certain figuring. Any capacity lipos can be paralleled as long as they contain the same number of (series) cells.

RE: lipo parallel question
You can parallel different mAh packs of the SAME cell count.
You add up all the mAh of the pack to get a total for the charge rate.
1000mAh + 2200mAh + 3300mAh = 6500mAh
1C rate is 6.5AMPS
