Thats an easy one to start with, your battery is way to small. A 4.8v battery only has 4 cells, compared to 5-6 on 6v or 7.2 that means less actual capacity do to less cells. On my evolution 4.8v ignitions I run sub-c 3800mah packs which are close to an AA 2500mah 7.2v pack in actual power capacity. A 4.8 volt ignition has a higher currant draw do to the lower voltage.
Some body a little mixed up here.A 4.8 volt pack will have less currant drain and run longer then a 6 volt pack of equal size cells.I run 4.8 volt double AAs 1800 MA. Have a couple of gassers using 4.8 volt Triple AAAs.1100MA.I no very little about ignitions.
No remarks Grumpy.
Grumpy no two.
