in a series....it will keep the same capacity, but have the voltage of two 3 cell lipos.. (22.2v)...if you want the same voltage as a 3 cell lipo, but double the capacity (twice the mAh, twice the C rating) you can wire them up in parallel....

...and make sure the entire system (LiPos, ESC, and motor) can handle the increased current at the higher voltage...
