Status: offline 		What is the lowest voltage that my on board flight battary can be? It is airtronics 4 double A's. It think 4.8 volts charged. How low can they get before I don't dare fly? Thanks

Status: offline 		some go with 1.2v per cell or 4.8v total, or some go with 1.1v per cell or 4.4v total, or you could split the difference and go with 4.6v total. you'll get better readings under a 300mA load or so.

Status: offline 		Your 4 cell pack should read 6-7 volts when fully charged. Nicads are considered discharged at 1.1v per cell. I wouldn't fly with it any lower.
