The final voltage that my charger reads on them is 6.6 volts. Life packs can be run dead, the packs will not swell. However, it is recommended by several manufacturers that you cycle the packs for approximately 20 times before you start pushing them that far. Run them for an hour and charge them up again. It is never a good idea to run a receiver pack dead though, who wants a runaway car? Life packs last longer than Lipo as far as cycle life is concerned.
