Default Batteries For Ignition

I have a DA-50 and I was looking for battey packs I will be running a 6.0V 2700mAh Pack for the reciever but I dont know if I should get a 4.0V or 6.0V for the Ignition the 4.0V would be cheaper but is that the only difference in using a 4.0V or 6.0V pack for the ignition, Also DA recommends a 1500 pack for Ignition and I will be running 1650mAh pack but I dont know what Voltage to use.

Thanks

4.8v is all that is needed, some run 6v and say the get a brighter spark.. I have never seen actual eveidence that shows an rpm increase with 6v..

Just for info, it seems that 6v packs make the engine easier to start, but to be honest, the present range of gassers all start easily anyway!!!! DOH!!!!, should have gone for a smaller pack
