See for yourself. Outdoor temp below 0 degree, running 2 X 2S serial connection, stock Mabuchi silver can. Effective voltage is 14.8V. Super fast and cool. No overheat issue at all.<\/p>\n

Connecting two LiPo batteries in series is a common way to increase the overall voltage of a battery pack. Here are the steps to connect two LiPo batteries in series:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure the two LiPo batteries have the same voltage and capacity rating. It is crucial to use identical batteries to avoid overcharging or over-discharging one of the batteries.<\/li>\n
  2. Connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the other battery. You can use a battery connector or solder the wires together.<\/li>\n
  3. Connect the positive terminal of the first battery and the negative terminal of the second battery to your ESC. These terminals will provide the overall voltage output.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note that when you connect batteries in series, the overall voltage increases while the capacity remains the same.<\/p>\n

    Another test on a day with outdoor temperature of 13 degree and the stock silver can still runs fine:<\/p>\n
