Hi
Simple question, i need to make a battery pack to fit a small potting box, it needs to be 4.5v and have more that 1.x Ah. My plan is this.............i can fit a total of 5 rechargable NiMh aaa batteries inside so i was thinking i need to solder the batteries together with wire, 3 x aaa in series to get 4.5v easy..............now with the other two i wish to increase the capacity so can i still solder these with wire in parralel to the aa cells that would supply the positive and negative terminals of my pack?
I know this is ok with 6 cells as i have done it before with a total of 24 cells but was wondering if using an uneven number of parralel cells would cause any problems?
Your thoughts please?
