|  Adding Cells
Sorry to add a dumb Question but I am a dummy when it come to Electronics. Is it ok to add Cells to a used pack? I know that they must be the same brand and size and all that. For example I have a 6 cell elite 1500 saddle pack and I want to make it a 9 cell pack. my 6 cell pack is about 4 months old. Should I just order 9 cells and start over, or is it OK to add 3 more cells? Thanks Last edited by yotachump; 01-30-2008 at 04:37 PM. |

I would get all fresh cells, as the older ones will have completely different performance as compared to the new cells.

But would it harm anything if I just add new cells to older ones?

eventually, yes. they may have the same mAh sticker rating, but will have completely different discharge rates/voltages/capacities. |
