Default Anyone know the correct way to install 3 2s lipo into a 6s current

Hello everyone. I'm not to sure if I posted this in the wrong section or not. If so, sorry for any incoivince. I was wondering what would be the proper way to connect a third 2s lipo battery to a mamba monster esc. I'm not to sure how to run the batteries in series or etc. any help will be greatly appreciated. If this helps any, as most of you know already. The m monster comes with the deans (T) plugs. I have 3 female deans to 4.0 banana plugs because I prefer those over the rest. All the batteries I have are 4.0s so I think adding the third lipo shouldn't be to hard of a task. Again, thanks for any help n also for reading my post.

When ever u wire batteries together they all need to be the same brand, mah rating, voltage and c rating...

So proving u have 3 batteries that are the same specs and are 2s u would wire them in series to get higher voltage 6s...

The 3 2s lipo batteries I plan to use are all 5000 mah turnigy with 20-30 discharge rate. I am just confused about the way the mamba monster esc or lipos should be wired up since it has the 2 deans plug ran together off the esc. Would I add a (+) wire to one side and the (-) to the other lipo? I don't want anything blowing up in my face from experimenting lol.

For series wiring , ultimately there are only 1 + and 1 -

All cells are wired in series with each other between those two + and - on the esc.
