Hi all,
New to the R/C modding world, so hope you'll be patient.
Was wondering if you can use 2X "Protected 3.7V 900mAh 14500 Lithium Battery" in place of 4X AA batteries to power a receiver?
Thinking of getting 2X and soldering together (a-la Turnigy 9X lithium battery pack mod) to replace the 4X AA that now power the receiver.

- 14500 size cells are supposed to be same dimensions as AA batteries but at over double the voltage, take up less space/weight
- my application requires me to be able to fit a replacement battery pack into the space of 4X AA, stacked in a square
- since the MAH is lower (900) than what I would get for AA size Ni-MH (2500) would that mean they would run down quicker, and by how much?
- 2X 14500 = 7.4V, that is over the normal 6V from 4X AA, would that fry my receiver?
Like I said, I'm a noob to this so any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
