Stick with the 9000mA pack if you like, but yes two 2400mA packs would be better than the single large pack.
Redundancy switches work, but in themselve represent significantly more points of failure than second pack and switch. Your scenario with the 3000/2400 packs shows that the 3000mA pack exceeds your longest flight, but do you know by how much? How much cpacity was left would have been interesting to note. This in turn helps you determien the mA/Hr consumed by that aircraft's electrical system. Quoting inventorforhire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I have a 9000 mah battery in my Duo Discus.
