Hey guys I'm stuck trying to wire up my two batteries. I have 2 gensacearespammers 7.6 2s lipo. Do I need to hook the two lipos in series or parallel? Series will double to 4s and over 15V, parallel will leave V as 7.6V and maybe won't double the S value.
I'm using hobbywing 4268 SD G3 2800kv motor and XR8 plus esc. Not sure parallel or series ?? If I go with series will double the voltage fry the ESC ? Thanks in advance.
 
Here we go again lord ! Not sure why arespammers is hooked to the former but disregard.
 
You have 2 gensacearespammers lihv batteries no lipo..7.4 is lipo 7.6 is high voltage
 
you want 4 cell power right so, you will need a jumper whatever connector you use you have to have a + red go from last battery to esc.. and the take that negative from that battery to the next batteries + then that 2nd batteries negative- to esc ground wire..black wire...you want series..

The owner with the forum has issues with the brand. Anytime you type in that name it is changed adding the are spammers at the end.

4s should be ideal for your motor. The ESC will handle that no problem.
This simplistic diagram may help. Just imagine the packs being 2s+2s = 4s for your scenario:
parallel vs series.webp
