Default Standard servo on 7.2V?

I wonder if it's possible to hook up a standard servo straight to the battery and run it on 7.2V?

I know I need to get a better servo eventually, but would this work as a temporary solution, or would I immediately fry the servo? It's a cheap standard Hitec servo. Not sure about the number.

My ESC (GM V4R) only has a 5V BEC. Should only look at getting a new 7.2V servo, or is it possible to run 6V servos straight off the battery? I believe I read that someone did this with a Futaba S9550.
