Default C&H ingition - 6 volts OK???

Okay, I have already done a search and didn't find a specific answer to my question. I do have the instructions for the ignition module for my BME 110, but it says nothing about 6 volts, yay or nay.
I know I could just go with 4.8 and be done with it, but I only have an 1100mah 4.8, and I have a brand new JR 1650mah 5-cell pack that I would prefer to run due to the higher capacity.
I am not expecting better power or anything, just want to know if anyone has run a 5-cell pack on their C&H ignitions without consequence. Thanks in advance!

Do it on all my C&H ignitions. Totally fine.

You don't have to worry about voltage until you go to a 6 cell pack. If you want to do that--just call Terry and tell him when you order the ignition. He can build it to run on 7.2V if you want.

6V --no problem.

Brown box... NO 6v. Silver box 6v....OK
Be advised that the ignition will draw more current on 6v than on 4.8 so your 1650 6v will last like a 1300 4.8v

Thanks. After realizing how lazy I would have been to leave my 2400mah Fromeco in my Exceleron instead of putting it in my 260, I have decided to put the nimh in the exceleron and the fromeco in the 260 and regulate it down to about 5.5 volts, so I am all set.
