Battery for AL5D

All servos for AL5D all 4.8 - 6V. Can I use a 7.2V barrey for them?

I have been reading the forum, and this question has been asked at several
places. But the advises are inconsistant, ranging from:

  • no
  • it’s ok, if used for a short period of time
  • it is completely fine.

(I have several packs of good 7.2V batteries. If I don’t have to, I don’t want
to buy new 6V batteries. When fully charged, my battery can reach 8.2V, though).

Thanks.

No. Bad things will happen. Do not do this.

a cheaper option may be to buy a battery regulator to take its down to 6v?
