information was available by inquiry to the vendor (Futaba in one case). I recently gave a friend a Smoke Pump nib and he installed it and boy did it put out, and then failed. Read the small print and it was for 4.8 volt,
The pump had been in my shop for years............
Thanks. I was worried about some old Futaba servos I have, S128, S138, and S148. They all have 6 volt ratings, but I'm just uncertain about the fully charged voltage of the LiFe.
