I am building a setup with a 6s2p battery pack either side of the mast base plate to make 12s2p.
Originally i was going to use a Y harness to join the packs to the ESC but as my ESC will not be easy to access, would it be ok to solder the Y harness single end to the ESC?
My concern is connecting the batteries… one at a time… will that cause issues with the ESC (rather than connect the 2 packs first then connect to the ESC)?
That would be fine as circuit no made until last one connected. What connectors are you using for the battery’s? I am doing a similar thing My Esc has 2 XT90 male connectors with a series connection between them and each battery has XT90 antipark female. still in build stages but it does work with no issues.
Thanks @marcoz - oh yes, of course (I should have realised that).
Yes I will be using the XT90s (anti-spark) connectors.
What is your setup like? under-board?
Na basic like the assist plus but looking at 11s 2p split between 2 packs 5s and 6s so can use standard rc chargers to charge them
