I don't get it, it seems to defy logic.
I'm using a 1600mah 5s nimh pack to power the servos and RX in my nitro car.
I charge the pack up to 6.9v-7v on my HOTA D6, and it reads 100% full on a capacity checker.
I can then drive the car for about 1 hour before the servos start to become inconsistent. Sometimes commands are delayed between my input and the action of the servo, sometimes they don't centre and the throttle sticks open or they stick in a left or right hand turn. Sometimes they don't respond to my input at all.
I check my pack on the capacity checker and it says 6.2v 70%. So I stick the pack back on my charger and it reports fully charged in 10 minutes after 200mah has been put back into the pack. I check on the capacity checker and I'm back up to 6.9v/7v 100%.
With the pack now fully charged the weird behaviour of the servos goes away for another hour.
My question is... why are my 4.8v-6v servos not ok with being driven at 6.2v? 6.2v is not too low so why are they having this behaviour? They should not have this behaviour until under 4.8v.
And why does my 1600mah pack only seem to have a "useful capacity" to actually do work of 200mah?
