RE: 4.8v vs. 6v receiver batteries
Thanks guys, but the more I hear, the more confused I get. I called JR and they said: "yes, we sell 6v batteries. Yes, our receivers and servos are designed to run on 6v packs. No, a voltage regulator is not needed unless it goes over 7v. No, we don't sell a charger for 6v batteries". I'm losing faith in JR. Why sell 6v systems without the ability to charge them fully?
I did run the 6v pack down and charged it with the 4.8v charger (that really says 5.8vdc as its output) and it did charge it to more than 6v. Don't remember the exact number, but I know I was surprised at the result. I'm tired of worrying about it, so I'm going to pop for a cycler/charger. Probably need one anyway to cycle all my other NiCads.
Anybody using a voltage regulator with their 6v systems? Comments?
