"WOW that was a huge fireball! Where did the top of the RC go?"
Oopsie.
I really need to put a disclaimer in my sig...
I don't understand why you need extra circuitry when using them in parallel. Why would they self-discharge if you tie the positive of each battery together and the negative and draw from that? Time for me to learn something...it's a good reminder that I do not know everything.
"Often times, tank style steering with sticky wheels produce the greatest demand on the electrical system."
Yes, that's out 'bot. I know it won't last more than one match, but then again, I know we are
really heavy and do a
lot of pushing. I guess it totally depends on how efficient whatever it is you are powering is. A great, heavy pusher = lots of drain on the battery (right? I was pretty confident 'series' was the right word, and now I don't know how much I really know...).
Thanks,
