My understanding is that some radio system receivers can not take a 2 cell lipo (7.4 volts when charged fully is 8.4 volts) fully charged at 8.4 volts. The issue is that the servos would be getting 8.4 volts versus their 6 volts. That is why regulators are needed in some radio systems. At least with 6.6 volt liFe they are fully charged at 7.2 volts and hover below 7 volt for the most part.
If anyone has better info, please chime in. Hope this helps.
