According to the website....

4600:
Up to 3s LiPo
5-12 cell NiMH**

5700:
Up to 2s LiPo
5-8 cell NiMH**


**Will work on 4 cell NiMH with modification. See a diagram of 4 cell operation modification here.
I read that, too, which is what is confusing me. Also, just going by the ESC, if it can handle 15V, then it should be able to run a 4s LiPo. Then again maybe the don't say that because a fully charged battery may exceed its voltage requirements. Hmm.
