ORIGINAL: geneh-RCU I have been flying my Raptors with an A123 2300 RX pack and all is good, I love the Hitec system. My question is about a new 90 size H9 P51. I have a 1650ma NiMH 4 cell pack installed. I have low current servos (non digital) in the plane but I do have 2 JR 4721 servos. Will I have any problems using a 4 cell pack? I have an A123 pack for the plane but the JR 4721's do not work well at the higher voltage.
JR Servos - Warranty void most JR servos used above 4.8V - Do not use above 6.0v fixed. is correct.
Whilst a 1650 NiMH pack would not normally be a problem, dueto the verydifferingresistances, it certainly will cause problemsif the cells are smaller than AA size such as the AEor AAA used in some lightweight RCapplications. NB: Never fast charge AANiMHreceiver packs.
Aurora A9 - Battery is not charged.has some good information on NiMH batteries.
A123 cells, use with caution, pleasecheck specs against

<span style="font-size: x-small">The Optima receivers provide a Supplementary Power Connection. This is a dedicated receiver power supply which is not affected by any fluctuations on the servo side and"brownouts", unless uncharged/faulty battery is used,are negated. Simply install another switch and a small 2S lipo or another small RXbattery as detailed

H9 P51 can easily carry an extra RX battery:
Optima Transceiver (RX) - Multiple Batteries may be installed.
Dual batteries for redundancy or even one for each servo, mayprovide furtherpeace of mind.
