What is a 2S4P battery? In a nutshell, using our new 9600 as an example, this 2S4P battery is built with eight 2400mAh / 3.8 volt cells. They are wired as 4 cells in parallel (2400mAh x 4 = 9600mAh and 3.8 volts) x two sets, and then these two sets of 4 cells are wired in series (3.8 volts x 2 = 7.6 volts). When you use the same formula to compare this to a typical 2S2P battery (using the same 2400mAh capacity cells), you lose 4800mAh of capacity, while the voltage remains the same at 7.6v. In drag racing we generally don’t worry about capacity, however, there is a benefit for drag racing, when we use 4 cells in parallel compared to 2 or 3 cells in parallel. There’s more science to it than this, but generally speaking, increasing the cell count, in effect, allows us to pull the required energy (amperage) from more cells, which improves the voltage drop. In other words, at the start of a race, when you first pull the throttle, the motor requires a lot of amperage, let’s say 130 amps for this example. This amperage pulls the voltage down very quickly. Let’s say for the first 20 feet of a race, using a 2S2P battery, your voltage drops from 8.7 volts to 8.4 volts, but using a 2S4P battery the voltage only drops to 8.6 volts. As you can see, by increasing the cell count, we can potentially improve our battery voltage by 0.20 volts, for the first 20 feet, and this effect continues for the duration of the race. This improvement of 0.20 volts results in an advantage of 26 watts of additional power supplied to the motor (0.20 volts x 130 amps) = 26 watts. In horsepower terms, 26 watts = .035 horsepower (26 watts / 746 = .035). This can make a huge difference by the end of a race! If your track allows 2S4P batteries, you have a definite advantage over someone using a 2S2P or 2S3P battery.
IMPORTANT: Due to the high stress that drag racing products are subjected to, there is no warranty on this particular product, except that it is free of manufacturing defects at the time of purchase.
