Lipo hobbyking question

To be honest, personally I wouldn't mess with lipos. They need "balance" charging with a descent charger, can be dangerous in the wrong hands. If you use RC stuff then you probably know about em anyway.
 
Hello

If I wire 4 x 950mah lipos in parallel will it be 3800mah and will the amps be 4x? and will these be ok with the sx350 charger.

And what is hobbyking like to deal with are the delivery times ok?
Thanks

These are the cells I use,I crimp a piece of copper strip over the cell tabs then solder to this to make my lipo packs.This gives me 4 x 1000 MaH (I use 4 cells) so 4000 MaH capacity,& 4 x 20C so a total drain maximum of 80 amps.This then allows me to use a USB charging PCB of 1 amp,this takes around 4 hours to recharge the pack.

This system gives me about 30 hours heavy usage on a 0.2 ohm RDA before requiring recharged.By using a mosfet in the circuit,I can use any switch from SMD micro to 20 amp car MOM switches and not fuse the switch contacts,in the event of a short,the mosfet goes pop and not the lipo pack,and by tweaking the resistance of the bridging on the mosfet,it seems to cease supplying power at 3 volts so I don't over-discharge the packs.
 
used hobbyking loads of time but whatever you do do not order from the international warehouse go global or euro or if they have it uk as postage will be within a week most of the time

What are hobbyking like for delivery?

I had no issues,paid for courier & still got royal fail red carded so had to go chase the box.I seem to have been lucky though as Seedy ordered some batteries & then tried chatbox contact to HK & they gave him the runaround.
 
if you order from the uk anything from 3-7 days for delivery global is roughly 1-2 weeks and don`t bother with international they still have my parcel i ordered over 7 weeks ago well the royal fail twats have it down in heathrow sorting office just glad i got a refund but hobbyking were useless as usual with any help
