Default Re: Battery Boxes.

I have a military set with 18 x 3500mA NiMH C cells. A short on that as you say is as fun as a spanner dropped across a car battery!

I've always thought it's scary the way most Laptop battery packs have paralleled LiIon cells.

So I presume the trick is to have cells from same batch and charge level before paralleling them?

I think a bad idea to parallel cells that are not new.
