Status: offline 		[]TEX[] your wrong he is doubling his capacity by paralleling two 1200, he'll now have 2400 mAh but the voltage will still be 6 volts. If he hooked em' together in a series then he would have 12 volts but only 1200 mAh for capacity.

Status: offline 		yeah ok thanks . its the same thing as car stereo 12 volt battery just say you want more capacity and you get 10 optima yellow tops , you just connect all the positive terminals then all the negative terminals .

so heres what i wanna do connect both reds both blacks then into one plug to connect back to the servo's and it will still be 6 volt but have more power capacity of 2400mah. exuse my dodgy drawing LOL.
