Those things are a waste of money IMO especially on a 30cc



Don't fall for the drivel that batteries can discharge into one another and drain the good one, that takes hours or days.



2 batteries, two switches and voila you have redundant power.



Personally on anything 50cc and below I use one A123 pack that runs the ignition and receiver with a Tech Aero IBEC powering the ignition and acting as an optical kill
 
Over thinking to the T.



My SlipStream 30cc MX2 needed some nose weight on it, so instead of having multiple packs in the airframe, I opted for 1 FromeCo 5200 powering the entire airframe and ignition system. Stuck the pack inside the motor box area and flew it, still needed a touch more weight up front, but it was so much lighter from going away from the NiMH packs that was in it! :)



Don't worry too much about the BatShare. Drop the pack size down to some 1100's, dual switches and forget about the rest! :)
