reduce battery voltage ?

[craig911]

Ok I'm looking to get a cheap 6v 1200mah / 1600mah battery, but i can't find any in my price range so if i buy a cheap 7.2V battery how would i reduce the voltage without removing a cell what would i need to use,

The battery will be used to power my servos on my nitro rc so the resistor or whatever would do the job will be attached to the switch cable not the battery cable ( makes it easier to charge ect )

So basically the battery will remain untouched but there would be some sort of regulator or resistor on the switch wire to drop the voltage to 6V for my servos

I will be using a NI-CD or NI-MH pack

It needs to be as cheap & inexpensive way to use a 7.2V+

Life batteries are 6.6 so you need no regulator. all the pros of lipo none of the cons almost and for under $10.
