Dual (Parallel) Batteries on Boscam RX-LCD5802 ?

[Xrover]

I have a Boscam RX-LCD5802 Diversity 5.8ghz Monitor with built in 7.4V 2400 mAH Lipo Battery.
A friend has the same monitor but busted his LCD screen so he gave me the whole thing.

Can I pull his battery and run it in Parallel with mine to get double the mAH? And can I charge the setup using the stock 2000mAH 12V charger.

Should work right?

Nobody?

You can, but why?
The stock monitor battery already way out last your flight battery, probably by a factor of 5. The extra complexity and weight would probably not be worth it

Lol. Actually it does last through 5 Flights
So I guess i'll just keep the other monitor for parts.

I am learning that the Lipos are not as simple as just Paralleling AGM or Lead Acid batteries.

Thanks for the reply.
