LiPo batt Q
 
Im lookin at this battery
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html
Im wanting a long runtime, not a lot of punch. Setting up a rustler for the young ones.
My question is...whats the difference in 2s1p and 2s2p ?
Thanks in advance for help.

Packs in series (S) add voltage.

Packs in parallel (P) add capacity (run time).

Add 1000 mah lipos in series and you get a 7.4v 1000mah pack

Add two 1000 mah lipos in parallel and you get a 3.7 volt 2000mah pack.

There will be no difference in capacity , power or size. In fact there will be no practical difference at all for the user. The 2P pack is simply doing the job with 2 smaller cells.

It is like you filling your car up with a 5 gal jug and me filling mine with 2 - 2.5 gal jugs.

I think what you are looking for is higher/more  mAh.
It doesn't matter how the manufacturer does that.
Just make sure the pack isn't too big to fit.
