My battery is a 20c 1300mah "reaction" battery. Anyway, ive been looking all over for a battery with about 4000mah. I found a Venom battery with a universal plug that would be pushing the limit of the size of battery that will fit. I have measured and it will have just enough room. Now Im thinking that it will weigh too much. Would adjusting the trim tab(s) help with that? Or should i put a small weight or something on the inside of the boat on the opposite side? I only got like 10 mins of run time so i definetly dont want another stock pack if possible. And the last thing, Hydro Junkie, if i did that, wouldnt i be giving 6s 2600mah into the esc? I know for a fact that it can only handle 2s or 3s. Thanks again
No, you wouldn't. If the packs are wired in series, like batteries in a flashlight, you would increase the voltage being supplied by the voltage rating of the packs times the number of packs but at the same mah level as a single pack. When you wire in parallel, you increase the mah since you're connecting the positive to positive and negative to negative between the packs and then taking the combined packs mah output, at the same voltage as a single pack, and supplying it to the ESC. The result would be double the mah and double the run time
