Default RE: 4.8V versus 6V for receiver battery?


ORIGINAL: jollycub

Why does a smaller battery give more time than a bigger battery.
Ohm's law, as the voltage goes up so does the current if the load stays the same.

The problem with that is we don't have a static load.

In actual practice a 4.8v pack lasts between 5 and 7 percent longer than an equivilent 6v pack.
