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.
Thank you for the help. Airtronics said they hadent tested that system with life or lipo without a reg. so just hopping someone has tried it and can share any info.
