Yeah, I didn't mean to come off as a dick. My bad. I'm having a rough day. Shouldn't have taken it out on you guys. On the same note, I was recently told that two cells in parallel roughly doubled the amp rating, BUT adding a third cell doesn't triple the amp rating. So.....did math just stop working after two cells, or is there some kind of limitation after two, or with odd numbered cells?

So then who cares about mAh? Why would they even list it on a battery if it doesn't make much of a difference with multiple cells? Why do my Parallel setups last longer before needing a charge even when I build super low, if both setups have the same Wh rating? None of this makes sense. Multiple resources have stated that Wh are different on parallel and series setups. I mean this website says it outright. "When batteries are connected in parallel, the capacity in terms of amp hours and kilowatt hours doubles. Voltage however remains the same." http://all-about-lead-acid-batteries.capnfatz.com/all-about-lead-acid-batteries/lead-acid-battery-fundamentals/what-are-parallel-batteries/ Is this only true for lead-acid batteries???

Everywhere I have read about series and parallel it has stated that series adds the voltages together to give a higher output than one cell alone, but leaves the Amp rating and mAh the same as a single cell. Ex: 3X 18650 2500mAh 25Amp @ 3.7V = 11.1V 2500mAh 25Amp output from the batteries And that parallel did the opposite, leaving the Volts as one cell, while adding the amps together and the mAh together. Ex: 3X 18650 2500mAh 25Amp @ 3.7V = 3.7V 7500mAh 75amp output from the batteries. We're all those credible websites and books incorrect??

I'm considering getting the Lost Vape Triade mostly for aesthetic and ergonomic reasons. I don't usually go above 70W on my builds and therefore would have little use for the full 11.1V the Triade offers. I DO however want to have a battery setup that has long Watt Hour rating. I have come to the conclusion that modding the battery sled to a parallel set up would be ideal. I have over 10 years experience with electrical repair/engineering and soldering so I feel confidant I can do this safely. My questions are Is this possible to do with the DNA200 configuration in the Triade? What, if any, limitations would this setup pose besides lower wattage capabilities? Would the DNA board still be able to monitor and charge the batteries properly? (Balanced charging?) Would my battery profile need to be adjusted to maximize efficency, or even have the mod work at all? Thanks in advance, I've only been using regulated mods for the past year. I've been using mech mods exclusively for the past 5 years, so I'm still catching up on the learning curve. Mikey P
