Default Would this work

I saw this thing in an old rccaraction mag. it said if i connected 2 batteries in paralle it would add extra capacity. well would it work if i used 3 batteries instead of 2?

There's no reason why it wouldn't work. As long as they're wired in parallel not in series. But that long of a run time without letting the motor/esc cool down could risk overheating it.

So i can increase the capacity of the glow igniter with out wasting the original battery the igniter came with. I hate wasting stuff.
