Battery question

Why would @Killer RC use LiFE over LiPo?

Why would @Killer RC use LiFE over LiPo?

LiFe battery packs tend to be:

• More Stable vs LiPo.
• Less risk of fire.
• Can provide more charge cycles.
• Able to provide 6.6V fully charged on 2S where LiPo would be 7.4V

Would 7.4 be to much for the electronics?

Yes itll fry ur servos

Did a bit of research and found lifepo4 is 3.65 full charged per cell. They are 2 cell batteries. 7.3 fully charged.

Now lipo are 4.2 per cell charged and a 2 cell would be 8.4.

Not sure on what the failing point would be for our electronics.

I haven't posted anything about it yet because I have not had any hard info on what our electronics can take.

Max voltage per nimh is 1.5 per cell. They are 5 cell so 7.5 volts fully charged.

Can i upgrade my (2) stock Hexfly 3900 Lipo 11.1V 25c's on my Redcat Rampage XB-E for (2) Turnigy 5.0 (5000mah) 2 cell 7.4v??? I noticed that it says above in the thread that it will fry the servos, but the Redcat Hexfly upgrade sheet lists a HX-580030C-BV2, 5800mah, 30C, 7.4v lipo battery as an upgrade???
