I paralleled two battery packs on my XL-1 crawler with no problems.
Run time is doubled as is charging time, pretty much as expected.

Running batteries in parallel really shouldn't be a problem unless the batteries in question are seriously dissimilar.

The pack I used was pulled from a donor MT, so it's a duplicate of the internal one, and I made sure both were discharged so that charging would be as equal as possible.

(After a few cycles they are matched anyway, but this keeps one pack from being stressed.)
