Default batteries in parallel

Hello All.

Can I arrange in parallel two 3s 11.1v 900mAh to run a blade 400 that requires a 3s 11.1v 1800mAh battery. If yes, how is this done? is there an adapter to do this? Thanks.

Yes you can parallel the two batteries. Make sure you also have the C rating you need. They add just like the MAH rating. The adapter you need is called a Y harness. Its not one of those whimpy ones you get for servos. You need a better current rating than they provide. You probably will have to have one made if you can't do it yourself.
Remove the Y harness and charge each battery alone

yes you can do that you just need a series adapter with whatever plugs you have on your packs.
