Default RE: New Lipo battery problem

Matt or anyone else I have a question about Lipos connected in series. I connected (2) 7.4v 2200 mah batteries in series with an EC3 series harness and get 514 wp with 34.04 ap on the voltmeter and I think it will be just enough power for the large super cub which weighs between 7-8# but would like to get closer to 100 watts a pound so I tried a 11.1v 2200mah + (1) 7.4 v 2200mah battery which I thought would give me 18.5v. When I tested it I had a drop in power to 386wp and 28.11 ap. They were both fully charged but the 11.1v battery is an older battery do you think this is the problem or did I do something wrong. Thanks Terry
