Receiver Battery

[PiperCUb]

What voltage of a receiver battery pack would you guys recommend for a AR8020T 8ch, something that would be enough to power the servos and data and telemetry from the receiver

looks like you can run up to 9v on that receiver

What servos are you running and what voltage can they handle? You will fry the servos if you overvolt them.
I don't know anything about the data or telemetry install but watch that you don't fry that stuff too!

Based on the planes you posted, a 6V, 1600mah NiMh pack would probably fit the bill, assuming they're "standard voltage" servos and not 'high' voltage which in this context is a whopping 8.4 volts...

I was looking over the servos and on the one that I describing it has Futaba S3003 I think I’m going to go with 7.4v battery if I can find one just so I have enough power , because on the Cessna 152 it has Deluxe Hitec HS-322HD servos and some different ones for the Flaps and Ailerons but I appreciate the response

Good chance that'll fry it, fully charged that puts out 8.4V; 7.4 is the "nominal" voltage when the cells are at 3.7V charge, but that's only 50-ish percent.

Edit: Both servos you described are standard voltage, 7.4v is inadvisable.
