Both batteries are 5000 mAh (Traxxas batteries both having the same C rating). One is 2s, the other is 3s. Which is the correct answer, or is neither correct?
1. Both batteries contain the same amount of engery and both will propel the same car the same distance, just the 3s battery has the ability to get the car there faster (becuase it will turn the motor faster). The 2s has two cells each containing 2500 mAh when combined total 5000 mAh. The 3s has three cells each containing 1667 mAh when combined total 5000 mAh.
2. The 3s battery contains more energy and will propel the same car a further distance. The 2s has two cells each containing 5000 mAh when combined total 10000 mAh. The 3s has three cells each containing 5000 mAh when combined total 15000 mAh.
Thanks for your help.
