Great FAQ, I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates the time you must have spent preparing it for the community, but may I make a suggestion? Would it not be beneficial to expand a bit on Amps as it relates directly to the type of cells used? I mean, the reason we cannot run a mechbox from a 7-cell battery consisting of 1.2v, 2200mAh AA cells is because the drain rate (Amps) is not sufficient. (AA cells having a drain current of ~2.1A, and Sub-C cells, for example, having a drain rate of ~30-40A)
It's not a terrible gripe, I'm just trying to distinguish an 8.4v, 2200mAh battery made from AA cells, with an 8.4v, 2200mAh battery made from Sub-C cells for those have less experience with cells, and undermine the importance of cell type. It's your FAQ, and your choice, hahaha, merely wanting to contribute is all. Again, great job, and feel free to use any of this out of context!
