Hi all,
I'm trying to understand what battery I should pair to the servo's I'm planning on purchasing.
The servos I'm looking to run in my losi 8ight 4.0 are Savox 1270/1271.
The battery that I'm planning to run is a Dynamite 7.4V 2000mAh 2S 5C LiPo
The thing that I can't understand is the servo's mention a "running and stall" current while the battery as a max. continuous discharge and standard discharge current but I can't make sense of it .. will the battery be to powerful for the servos and just blow them? In my (simple) mind, the voltages work so that's good I don't want to buy servo's that draw too much (or too little) current and end up draining the battery in 5 minutes or blowing up.
I'm don't really understand the electrical side much so I'm just looking to gain some confidence that this battery and servo pairing is going to work well.
The battery has been chosen as it sits nicely into the battery compartment of my car, the servo's have been chosen because they are within (ish) budget and are 7.4 v.
I was originally looking at a 6v NiMH hump pack and 1258 savox servos but I've not been able to find any 6v battery that'll fit into the compartment and being the stubborn person I am, I would like it all to fit nicely together.
Looking forward to feedback thanks all

- Running Current (no load): 150mA @7.4V
- Stall Current (at locked): 6800mA @7.4V
The battery that I'm planning to run is a Dynamite 7.4V 2000mAh 2S 5C LiPo
- Maximum Continuous Discharge Current: 10A
- Normal/Standard Charge Current: 2A
