Title: Just a question
Post by: Bugsy on January 23, 2011, 04:04:21 pm

I'm running two brushless motors through two esc's and one battery. (8.4 -3700 nimh batteries)

On a visit to the lake would I achieve longer overall run times by;

A. Running a single battery and swapping to a second battery when the first one is run down or,

B. Running with two batteries connected at the same time, one to each motor. 

Just a thought.

.... I would say the two batteries in parallel... just my 2p worth ... and it's not really worth that!

If weight is an issue e.g. will the boat plane use one and swap batteries
If a displacement hull run two batteries one to each esc not parallel
