You need 2 3034 mosfets they should handle the amp load. I assume the lipo's will be in parallel. Solder them together front to back not back to back. Here is a good diagram to get you started http://i.imgur.com/bUdCZBX.png Use Mouser for parts not Amazon, not not Amazon lol. The only thing I am not sure about is the fact your lipo's are at 7.4v. I do believe that the 3034 mosfets will handle the job, but just to make sure read the speck sheet you'll find on Mouser to be for sure. I used 18g copper stranded wire in mine, two mosfets, resistor, 1a charging board, and a hana style clicky button. Cant go wrong its lots fo fun.

Good luck
