I posted this question over at FX and got zero replies so I will repost here


Hello
I happen to have a CF 8.0 and NBv4.0
After ordering and realizing the CF 8.0 doesn't have the ability to control digital addressed LEDs I ordered the nano biscotti version four
This will give something for my son and I to work on together when I'm home for my allotted 3 to 4 days a month

My question is since the LED strips have such a high power requirement ( 2X LED strips back to back ) can I wire in parallel 2 lithium ion packs ?
Normally I would just assume yes but putting this together with a charge port and both packs having protection circuits I'm not sure
I was guessing that I probably could but that I would have to charge them separately so I would leave just an extra JST connector for the second battery in place but unplug it during charging and switch it out or rotate it ( charge port with standard kill key in it when not in use )
