the ad states 2cell lithium-ion batts. but is it alright i suppose to use larger batterys like 3 or 4 cell if you have them? the reason i ask is because the largest 2 cell duralite has was 2100mah or is two of those enough for serveral (5 or 6)flights on a 35% or 40% aircraft?

You can use as many cells as you want, but make sure it is still 7.4 volts nominal. If you up the voltage it reduces the amount of current the unit can handle.

Hi Blake, I guess I should have been more specific, what I meant was 2S (2 series) packs. You can parallel as many 2Ss as you want. We just do not want an input voltage higher than 8.4V at full charge.
