This may have been covered, but I haven't been able to find a thread about it. If you know of one please point me to it.

I've got 2 of these: Polymer Li-Ion battery Module, 3.7 V 2500mAh (9.25 Wh) - Prewired with PCB (IC).

What I would like to do is stack them(parallel-solder their leads together, +to+ -to-) and need to know if I can charge them at the same timeI(I bought their suggested charger). Also, am I right in thinking that this would result in a 3.7v 5000 mAh output?
I'm thinking of using them as a portable power pack(charge batteries or plug in my passthrough). I realize I could just build a NicoStick(& have), but I have these & want to use them:).
I've already tried attaching an M401 atty to one of these & it powered it fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, that's interesting. The astroflight blinky costs more than the batteries did. Are these batteries safe to use for vaping or charging other batteries individually?

One more question, I've got some regular Li-Ion 900 mAh single flat cells coming, can they safely be stacked(parallel) & used or should I just give up that idea & pull the set from a PCC that I dismantled? I want to make a NicoStick out of a 2x AA battery box that will last all day & then I can plug it in(USB) to charge it. I've got some USB chargers that I have dismantled also. I'm going to try to use the circuitry out of them.

Thanks for the help.
