Default RE: GWS flight packs

Depending on what Dell laptop battery you are using I assume a newer one that is lithum Ion to get the 11.1 and 1900 mha rating.

the way they wire the pack for the laptop is to take a series parallel combination to gain overall current and voltage

the 11.1 seems to tell me that they are using 3 cells parallel and the 1900 rating is mostlikly due to the pack having 6 cells each 3 cell set is rated at 800 mha to be a combined serial set up of 3s2p

I have seen this setup in dells before.

The main problem with these cells is thier fragile ness if you simply tap one with a sharp obiject it will bleed out its fluid.

Actually i taped one with a xacto knife while remoing some tape from a cell and the cr*p went everywhere. Skin and Eyes need to be flushed it was burning so much. and I have no problem with castic products but that stuff was bad.

Be carfull or spend the money on the newer LiPo packs and chargers thay are safer (I own a PCW with about 100 crashes on it) and no damage to my Bat Packs..

Good luck and be very carfull but most of all have fun.
