If you are talking about their 7 cell packs they should come off the charger at 10.5v or so

Nominal voltage is 8.4v

Any 6 cell pack will peak at around 9v straight off the charger

Cheers

Thanks guys, Have not used NiMH in a long time, could'nt remember. Going to use the Powercells till they die, then switch to lipo.

I thought I dropped a cell (hotter then 180* on one. Melted shrink wrap and wouldn't perform well) I just manually cycled it softly and it came back to life. Just becareful that you check your volts and stress a pack out. Series or parallel
