it seems that 6s is the way to go with the Swift but 6s is bit expensive nowadays, can i run 2pcs 3s in parallel for the meantime while learning to hover?

Hey,

Yes you can.

I am testing some of the new Overlander LiPo battery packs and at the monet no dedicated 6s packs are available, hence I have two 3s 11.1 volt Poly-PRO packs in series to give me the 6s configuration.

I run two of these : http://www.overlander.co.uk/detail.a...ryid=74&ID=703

It may pay though to have another balancer to make sure both packs are balanced during the charge process.

As your question is can they be used "in PARALLEL" the answere is NO!!!

But if they are at least of a high enough MAH and C rating to give a total of 700 watts or so, then as Ian said "wired in SERIES" they will work.

Ah, I didn't spot that well caught.

I assume he may just have parellel and series mixed up, as series is needed to make 6s.
