is it posible to wire two 7.2 volt packs in perralel mode to gi ve you longer run time?????

i did a 4ws mod and my battery time is like 30 mins on the stok packs.

yeah, its possible. Just take yrou 7.2v's and connect the red wire to the red wire and the black to the black. If they are 600 MAH packs then they will be 1200 so be sure to set your charger to peak then.

I'd recommend getting some higher mah batts, running dual packs will double the battery weight.

running dual packs would make your rig 14.4 volts, still 650mah, and your runtime would drop to 3 minutes. Because that is how long the board is going to last before it gets fried.

only if you wire them in series (sp) (+to -) if you conect them (+to+ and -to-) you will end up with 2 7.2 volt bats just like conecting 2 12v car batteries in diesel aplications.

the only time voltage increases is when you wire the posative to the negative

ahh, my mistake

Yeah i'd say just get higher mah batts like ripper7777777 said. I made my own pack out of 2500 mah rechargeable from wally word. Yet to see how they hold up yet....

I use batteryspace.com for all my cheap battery needs....

but at the moment I use Mini-t packs in my Nylints, 1200 mah and since they fit my nylints, my Mini-t and my Micro RS4 I'm happy.
