Default RE: 6V with 4.8 wall wart

Here is a link to an article from Red's RC Battery Clinic that discusses using all sorts of wall warts for RC applications.

Short answer... It depends on the wall wart. Many put out enough voltage, but, the charge time will be very long because a charger that delivers 50ma to 4 cells will likely deliver 40 or less to 5 cells.
