bmclaurin Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I haven't tried it, but there's nothing theoretically wrong with doing so. It will obviously require a pretty large box though. As for the balance leads, you could use a parallel harness like this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27077__JST_XH_Parallel_Balance_Lead_3S_250mm_2xJST_XH_.html Or if space is a concern you could just splice the individual wires from the balance taps together directly. Just be extra careful you match the wires correctly to avoid a short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmclaurin Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 If you try this, I recommend monitoring the cells of each pack individually from time to time (particularly for the first few cycles) to make sure the cells are balancing appropriately.

VapingBad Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 There are 2P3S cells available that do just that, nothing wrong with that idea as such just that manufactures can match the quality of the cells, though I suspect that most only reject very poor cells and you could do better with a reasonable quantity of cells to choose from.
