I don't like the way it's wired.  One cell will always be exercised more than the other that way.

Actually this was the only way they could get it approved by Roar.  As they need a way to make sure it stay at a single cell.  any other way could be tampered with.

it weird i know

The battery would be better balanced if the + wire came off one cell, and the - wire off the other cell.

This way, a poor connection between the two batteries won't be easily detected, and will work the cell with the connector more than the other cell.

I totally agree with what your saying.

i was watching the thread on RCtech and they had tons of different configuration but this was the only one that roar allowed i guess.

for all the guys who will be using the 4mm plugs you might want to mod your plugs like mine
