Default RE: this is for battery expert

Remember Tom

Measure the voltage under load. Measuring the battery without the motors running is deceiving, even residual charge can show full voltage. Try measuring the voltage when the motors are running.

Also note that the current delivery of the battery has a function as to the output current available per time (mah) i.e. a low mah battery is not ideal for continous motor loads, the occasional servo would be OK.
