The stripe points towards the receiver if you're doing this.
Yes. Good call. But the lipo RX packs are around 8.4v when fully charged. They will slowly drop to around 7.5v and then when they are done, they just dump very fast. So I think the average voltage is actually slightly higher than the 7.4v labeled on the batteries.
