I need to know if it is safe to put two li-ion or li-po batteries in parallel.
I have heard that if you want to do this you need to use a special circuit to keep them from discharging into eachother. If this is true where can i find one? I have searched around and have no results.
What are the side effects of not using this type of "balancing" circuit?
Even if i am supposed to use one of these circuits can a get away without it? Will i be alright as long as i always use the same pair of batteries, charging them at the same time and such so they are always pretty much the same amount charged?
