In order to have as few lipos as possible, I use the following strategy: I try to do as much on 4S as I can. Also a 3 inch with 4S if I gonna build one in the future. Because then you can connect the small XT30 450 - 850 mAh 4S Lipos in parallel and use them with XT60 4-5" 4S copters... That's why I would try to equip a 3 inch with 4S. Anything under 3 inches is 2S and anythning under 2 inch is 1S for me. Here the same, you can connect GNB27 1S lipos in parallel for XT30 2S. Connecting Lipos in series is more difficult because smaller batteries always have smaller plugs. For a series connection e.g. 2x 3S to 1x 6S you need the large plug (XT60) on that small 3S lipos (Because the current flows through both batteries instead of both sharing the current.), but small 3S lipos are not sold with XT60. In addition, an XT60 connector would be too heavy for a 2.5 or 3 inch micro quad.
This was a great video mate - I’m definitely going to up my storage system after watching this 👍✊🤝
Yeah also check my comment here in the comments about Paul. I find he has near perfect system for security.
