I have seen this question all too many times in the chat box and helped numerous people with this. Today I had some spare time and I decided to make a tutorial on how to make battery packs.
The items you will need:
1) Soldering iron
2) Batteries
3) Solder
4) Some wires
5) A male jack for the radio
6) Sand paper
7) Electricians tape or some shrink tubing
8) Soldering skills
9) Time
If you have these things lets continue on to the next step
Step one
Sand off the ports of all of you’re batteries. This removes a layer of oxidation and allows the solder to stick on and makes you’re job lot easier
Step two
Add some solder to the ports of all you’re batteries
Step three
Using some connective media (can be wire or any connective substance) attach the + terminal of one battery to the – terminal of another. For my pack I’m using this lay out OO
OOO
The first two batts.
Third Batt
Fourth one
Then the Fifth
When you have successfully soldered all the terminals you can attach the jack. The + goes to red cable and the – goes to black cable
Then all you have to do is wrap it in elections tape or use a large shrink tube to make a casing for it
And you are DONEEEEEE

this means I need to add one more battery9Now 5 instead of 4) to my receiver pack to make it a 6v pack (I hope they fit). I plan on using deans micro plugs for the leads and wrapping in shrink wrap. Ive also been looking at purchasing the sky LiPo charger which will handle up to 18 cell NiMH packs. its costly upfront to get things setup but i think in the long run I will save money and the hassle of buying new AA's all the time, not to mention saving the environment lol. :jamout:
