Default 4.8v vs. 6v receiver batteries

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me out here. I just bought a JR9303 radio setup for my TF GS P-51. I ordered the 9303 with a 6v receiver battery. The charger that came with it (NEC222) puts out 5.8v @ 150mha on the receiver side. My other radio is a JR6102 with a 4.8v receiver battery, but it has the same charger at 5.8v on the receive side. What gives? I'm pretty sure batteries should be charged at a higher voltage than their operating voltage (not 100% sure though). What voltage should each system be charged at? Did they send me the wrong charger for the 6v system? When fully charged, what should the 4.8v system put out? What should the 6v system put out? What's the minimum safe flying voltage for each system?

The more I learn about this hobby, the more questions I have !!

Thanks in advance,
Nick
