I am gearing up a Kingcat and want to keep it simple as well. I was thinking of using two smaller 5 cell packs (1400 each?) with two regulators and two switches, with both plugged directly into the receiver. This would give me around 2800 mah, with some redundancy. Any reason why this won't work ? Opinions ? Thanks-Mike Oberst
There's no reason why that won't work, although if you're running Ni-Cd's you'll be charging a lot. What kind of batteries do you use?
In my 46% Ultimate Bipe, I'm running dual 3600mah batteries with 2 regulators and switches connected into a single receiver. With the Li-Ion's like the Duralite Plus, in this configuration you get both switch/regulator redundancy, and cell redundancy since these packs are wired as a 2 series, 2 parallel configuration. If you lose a cell in your pack, you'll lose capacity, but not voltage.
