Series, to get 6s, but 1800mAh will give you relatively short flights. I am guessing you have the E-flite packs that came with the Blade 400? With "noob" flying I would expect you to get no more than 4-5 minutes flying. 5 would really be pushing it.

I have some 2200mah would that be better?

That depends. You can charge them either way, if your charger can handle 6S

I fly 2170mAh and sport flying I get 5 minutes, stick banging 3D I get 3-4 minutes. But as I said in a different thread. The "right" flight time is highly personal, I prefer shorter flights and have no interest in 7-8 minute flights. 3-5 minutes is plenty for me. You can fly the 500 on 1800mAh just don't expect too much out of them.

As all the other answers tells you, if you are using a two 3cells batteries with 1800 mAh.

Seriel: Twice the numer of cells (2 x 3 cells = 6 cells battery, same mAh)

Parallel: Twice the amp/hour (2 x 1800 mAh = 3600 mAh, still 3 cells battery)
