As for using them on LIFE: no problems there. I've been doing it in the past without problems. Remember: a fully charged NiMH pack is 6.5 volts under load aswell (many people seem to forget this
). The NiMH pack will slowly go down to 6 volts when being used and below 6 volts it's as good as empty. A LIFE pack will stay round about 6.6 volts under load (much) longer and will drop down to below 6 volts when it's almost empty. This means LIFE is more consistent during it's discharge (Also, LIFE packs are much lighter then NiMH packs - the biggest advantage imo).
yeah thats why I was asking cause I know the life puts out 6.6 and nimh can put out bout the same. Cool good to know. I use to run straight lipo on non HV servos, never had a problem but I dont wanna blow my servos because of the 7.4v. but I got cold feet bout lipo's in general. Only lipos Im going to continue to run is in my starter boxes.
