Hi Guys! I have a few Q's I'm hoping you could answer.
1. Are there any issues with mixing Li-Ion and LiPo? From what I can see they both have a min of 3v and a max for 4.2v so is there any harm in mixing these together within a pack?
2. Do parallel cells balance among themselves? I read somewhere (I think on this forum) that this happens, i.e. if you got 2x 2000mah batteries, one full and one empty and soldered them in parallel then after time they would both equalize from 2000/0 to 1000/1000. Is this true?
3. How should I configure my packs? for example if i have 40x 1000mah batteries and 40x 2000mah batteries should I keep all the 2000's in one pack and all the 1000's in another, and just use a balancer to stop the 1000mah from draining to 3v before the other pack?
