I made a led lantern that is powering fine with a camcorder 7.2 volt li-ion battery pack ( Sony NP-F960), that has 6 -18650 in it. The batteries in the pack are configured in 3P2S. The pack has protection circuit in it. The light goes off after 2 hours of continuous use. My question is if I can use 2 of these identical packs connected in PARALLEL to double the run time as each pack is rated at 47 watt hours. My concern is that in parallel, will one battery conflict with the other in terms of premature shutdown, protection circuits interfering with each other ,etc. ?
I really need the extended run time of 4 hours without having to change battery after 2 hours when one is exhausted. Thanks
