| | | | | Re: ni-cads in parallel
|
| Don't do this. First off, you won't get more current, nicads already can deliver gobs of current, enough to be dangerous. You want more amp-hours, not more instantaneous amperage. Secondly you will have problems with cells charging each other. I (...) (28 years ago, 6-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | Re: ni-cads in parallel
|
| (...) This is generally not a problem. If you get a 7.2v strip of C-cells from a hobby store (this is a 5 cell battery) they can deliver about 150 amps for a short while. You are correct that charging NiCds in parallel has issues. I guess the (...) (28 years ago, 6-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | using ni-cads in parallel
|
| Ni-cads have really low internal resistance. If the two packs start off at different levels of charge, you may have a problem with lots of current flowing between the packs when you first connect them. I'd recommend moving to a larger pack rather (...) (28 years ago, 6-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | ni-cads in parallel
|
| Does anyone know anything about connecting Ni-Cad packs in parallel to get more current? I'm trying to connect two 6V packs in parallel for driving my motors and sonar, and I also need to make a 4.8 tap to drive a servo. I'm not sure how Ni-Cads in (...)
