Built-in Battery Extension

Or have them connected in parallel until the lipos die, then disconnect and milk the liion pack.

Would wanna have a bloody nice and loud low voltage alarm on the lipos tho

Still doesn’t feel right for me to play mix and match, but I don’t have technical arguments why it shouldn’t work if you take the right precautions.
Maybe @Battery_Mooch can give his thoughts on mixing different chemistry cells in parallel?

You said it all right here.

Nice work! Can you share the file for the xt30 cap? I was just about to make one this week for someone.

Sure, here it is:

Just finished a 20 km offroad ride, worked really well. 10A was the max pulled from the extra battery, I’ll post more details soon.

Ahh that’s an xt60. Looks so tiny next to that charge port!

Yeah it’s a big one!
An xt30 should handle 30A continuous which is probably enough but I found the xt60 a good compromise between the xt90 and xt30 plus I had enough space.
