i know it will fit, but im getting mixed answers about if one of the two halves of a saddle pack is a 2 cell 7.4 battery with half the Mah of the total rating for the battery.

heres an example

If you look at this battery pack, or any LiPo pack you will see it's configuration, which is given by the designation '2S 2P'.

What 2S means is you have two LiPo cells, wired in series. 2P means you have two LiPo cells wired in parallel. Together, when you have a 2S 2P battery pack, you have two, two series celled battery packs wired in parallel to double the amp hour capacity.

The 2S 2P pack you provided a link to, is basically two 2250 mili-amp 2S packs, in parallel with each other, and each 2S pack is one part of the saddle. Cutting off one half would give you a single 2S pack, with half the run time. If you need a smaller battery pack, then you just have to look for one that fits your application, and probably a 2S pack, instead of a 2S 2P pack.

Hope this helps.

I agree with what your saying Nate but when you go to Venom's web site and look at the battery and the wiring it shows I don't see how you can wire the two packs in parallel. Each pack only has one pos and one neg output. The wiring shown only allows for series wiring.
