So the main reason for doing things this way is to basically know when half your range is gone?
I just mention it because even though the Peukert effect is minimized with lithium it is still there. The benefits of running the cells in parallel is that you will probably gain a few % more range, have a bit more power (less voltage sag), and the life of the batteries will also be increased as well from only drawing 1/2 the current over their life.
