I have quick question when running batteries in series does the amps stack 2 18amp bat in series do they give you 36 amps or 18. I am pretty sure its 18 but I thought I would ask
Batteries ran in series does the amps stack or same as single

In series, amps stay the same. In parallel, the amps add up.
Yep nice that work I just need to refresh my memory I was doing this stuff in high school and I 53 year old now so I am a bit rusty I just wanted to double check my memory
Thanks for the help
In a mech, yes. But in a regulated box, no. In a regulated box, you should get more mAh than a single battery alone, because you've got more standing voltage (full charge = 8.4v), thus less Amp draw, and thus more runtime.
Ok then there must be a mathematical formula to plug you specs into to calculate it I would have to see if the gain significant do know the formula or is just educated guess?
Thank you.
In the link I provided the schematics were pure mechanical, and that would have been obvious to anyone that bothered to click on the link - turns out it may not matter.

As far as the batteries and the battery side of the circuit, yes, the relationship is the same. However, the consequences of that relationship are different when they are in a regulated device vs. a mechanical device.
True but you're still getting double the Wh either way.
When using my istick50 (2x18650 =4400mah parallel) about 3days battery life on .5 subtank coils around 20 watts, when using my IPV4 (2xVTC4 @2100mah series) I get around 1.5 days with same coil at same watts. So that lines up with the technical aspects of series vs parallel
Well of coarse, but many on this forum are confusing watt-hours and milliamp-hours.
So say, if one had a mechanical box mod wired in series, thus doubling the voltage...
what happens to the max continuous amp draw? Does it also double?
If you plug in 8.4 V and .3 ohm, you get a 28 A draw, and 235.2 W
So, would two MNKE 20 A max continuous, wired in series, have a 40 A max continuous limit?
Something tells me I've got this wrong.

Series Doubles the voltage, capacity and amps stay the same. Parallel, voltage stays the same, capacity and amps are doubled.
Also posted from above. Pay close attention to the information on using the same spec batteries.
