made a series connector. Two 3s batteries were cheaper, lighter, and had more capacity than a 6S

I'm not sure why these two 3s batteries turned out to be so much lighter than my 6s, and had a greater capacity as well. The two 3s batteries weighed almost half as much as the big monster 6s and had 1000 more milliamps than the 6s. I also got a little better flight time. Not sure the science behind it but I'll take it.
 
I think you got that wrong.
So are you reading like 22v off the single connection. If so you can't have more mah or capacity than a bigger lipo.
Its still a 3S the draw is just slower off the 2 batteries. You can't make a bigger capacity battery like that without Rockerfella wanting to take you to court.

Each small battery is 5500mah. Would both make 11,000 in series? The big battery is 10,000. Not a completely fair comparison since the big battery is about a year old.
 
One thing I do know, the two batteries were half the price and almost half the weight.
Sorry but I am adding this paragraph about 20 minutes after the first one. So since in series voltage is doubled but amperage remains the same, maybe I was able to fly it longer because the flow of electricity, amperage, was not passing through as quickly?

Well, if my scale is off, the weight of the batteries should be off equally. In the end, the big 6s battery is almost double what the two small 3s batteries weigh. I will check when I get home. I am playing hooky today. It is a good day.
 
In series adds voltage. In parallel adds current(amps).
If you double the voltage to a motor that was not designed for it. Bad things will probably happen, sooner or later.
But probably a lot faster for now. Zipppppp!!

Enjoy either way, its all in the fun of experimentation:D

No, that much I know. The motors require a 6S battery. I've crashed a couple of times but have never started a fire yet :-)
