RE: receiver battery

Most receivers can handle 6v batteries with no problem.
There are some servos, mostly digital, that can't. Check the specs on your equipment to be sure.

RE: receiver battery

In case you didn't know, A five cell battery reading 6V could be anywhere from 80% full to almost drained. 6V is the nominal voltage, so the voltage fully charged is around 7V.
