Default RX Battery Pack for Spektrum ar6200

I need a 6V pack for an AR6200. I've checked servo city and batteriesamerica. A 6V 2000mah pack is about $26. Any other recommendations where I should check?

The Ni-Cd charger that came with my old Hitec radio system says:

RX 4.8V DC 55mA

Would this work with a high capacity 6V RX pack?

Well, probably not. Note the voltage difference. It may charge up to a voltage higher than 4.8 but more than likely not 6 volts. I've not done it myself, I have several chargers that will charge a 6 volt pack so I don't often use my wall charger even for 4.8 volts.

I would not trust a charger that is not rated for 6 volts. When making the jump to 6V batteries it is time to invest in a good charger that can charge as well as discharge.
