Default Parallel Lipo

I am going to wire two 7.4V 910 Mah TP packs in parallel. Will these pack discharge at the same rate? I am wondering if I will damage the packs if they one discharges faster than the other?

They will discharge in proportion to their actual capacity. You will not hurt them as one cannot discharge faster than the other - by being in parallel the voltages on each will be identical.

Yes they will discharge at the same rate, and no you will not damagae your pack. As always though, never disharge below 3v per cell and make sure they stay in balance.

if the total voltage is 2v, then you're gona need to scrap that pack. You can only recover them if each cell is something like 2.5v or so. Sorry for the bad news, but welcome to RCU =)

If you have a new q, go to the main forum where you can see all the messages and hit new post, you'll get more/better responses that way

That is very low voltage, like .7volts per cell. I doubt this pack will be recoverable and I think you would be safer just to dispose of it. Even if it is somehow recovered, the performance will be much worse.
