Default RE: 6v or 4.8v receiver pack?
ORIGINAL: Geistware
I took two packs a verified 2700maH NIMH pack and a 1800maH NiCad pack. Both 5 cells.
I put a 1 amp load on each and discharged it down to 5.5 volts.
I then discharged both packs at 200 ma to see how much was left in each pack.
The NiMH had 1000maH and the Nicad had 250maH.
I could get more of the load out of the NiCad.
It was a larger and bulker pack.
Am I missing something? You got 1700 maH (2700-1000) out of the NiHM and 1550 maH (1800-250) out of the NiCad. I agree you got a larger percentage of the NiCad's capacity, but I can't see why getting more load 1700 versus 1550 out of a smaller pack, the NiMH, would be a bad thing.
