This battery charges up to about 7.4V or even 7.5V when fully charged and right off the charger. Voltage to the field (1/2hr drive) usually drops off to about 7.2V before the first flight.

I fly down to 6.1V and then call it a day.

I quit at 5.8 volts under a 1.5 amp load.  That generally starts out around 6.1 volts until I put the load on which drops it around .3 volts.  As Rcpilot said mine usually comes off the charger (Accucycle Elite) around 7.4 to 7.5 volts and will usually drop to around 7.1 or 7.2 within 30 to 45 mins.  (Distance to my field.)  I put around 800 to 900 mAH back in when recharging so I guess I could go further but I would rather be safe than wrecked.
