NIMH battery question

I have a 2200 mah/6.0V reciever battery. I've cycled it as per instructions before using it.
1. How high voltage does a fully charged battery read with a 250mah load tester on it? Mine is 6.7ish.
2. How low voltage should I fly before recharging?

Also, noticed that the voltage came down to around 6.2/6.3 are so and sort of "leveled off" there.

RE: NIMH battery question

VOltage under 250 mA load is about 6.5 or so. Fly down to 5.9 (under load) safely. A 2200 battery should last about 15 or 20 flights on a 4-channel trainer with 4 or 5 servos.
