Default Two Cell LiFe Receiver Battery Pack

Hi Bax, My Futaba receivers and analog servos are rated at 4.8 to 6 volts. Can I use a two cell LiFe battery pack without a regulator? Thanks, Dan.

If you're talking the older receivers on 72 MHz, we'd say no. You will need to regulate them. They were not designed with Lithium battery packs in mind, since they were not in use at all at the time.

Thanks Bax. It’s the R6008HS and various Futaba analog servos. Dan.

For the R6008HS receiver, this is from the tech notes:

Power Requirement: 4.8 or 6.0V battery or regulated output from ESC
