hey guys,
I run a 6V in the savage and a 4.8V in my tamiya TGS
while i was in the tub i had a thought of using both of my 6V hump packs in my savage. also could if anyone has some info on a external radio/battery box that would be appreciated
i did a little research on this but wanted your input
mainly due to combat high current/amp draw from the servos/lights and also longer run time before charging. (primarily to combat voltage drop/brownouts)
i tested it out using a voltage tester and using a Y cable got 6V from dual packs
To reiterate i'm thinking of parallel so 2x6V 1500MAH = 6V 3000MAH
Not series 2X6V 1500MAH = 12V 1500MAH
also doing some research i should be fine charging both packs in parallel
so charging, instead of being on charge for roughly 7 hours =1.5A on my multi charger ( RX TX glow stick )
i can put both packs on over night for a 15 hour charge so there ready when i need them on a planned day out etc,
as my charger does not switch to a trickle charge when the batteries are full it also means that i can charge my batteries overnight without the risk of over charging and damaging the cells
what are your thoughts on using a dual 4.8/6V hump pack
my thinking on this was more on if you have lots of lights on your rig etc so less work for a single battery pack to do and a more consistent voltage under load
so any discussion, info ect is appreciated
