two battery connectors???

[firefighter1]

hey guys i was wondering if u could buy like a double battery connector to lengthen the run time on my micro

im sure you could. it would be easy to make one. wired in parallel will give you the longer run times with same voltage. series will double your power, but your mah will stay the same. you could pick up a couple packages of wires for the micro to make one or some micro deans.

I found switching to lipo really helped with run time

+1. The increased wheel speed is nice, too.

As mentioned, your idea will work with a simple homemade wire harness/splitter; putting a battery on each axle might help with the added bulk and weight.

I did just what you are talking about. I had two of the stock batteries and bought two LOSB0860 (connector set with wires) from my LHS. I made a "Y" harness to connect the batteries in parallel to lengthen my runtime. I also use the harness to charge the batteries simultaneously. I get about 24 minutes of medium difficulty crawling in before it won't move anymore. I've ran mine this way for about three months. Lipo is better, I'm sure. But, this way was cheaper for me because I already had the extra battery. Only about $6USD for the connectors. There will be some soldering involved. If you have to buy a soldering iron, add about $10-20USD to that figure.
