Is it safe to use a 7.2V LIPO 2 battery with this receiver? If yes, what recommended mah?

The receiver is not connected directly to the battery and it doesn't really matter with the battery mah. It is safe to use with LiPo or any battery.

3.7v vs. 3.8v is fairly insignificant. The real worry is if the voltage output of the new battery is higher than what the OEM battery is. The real question is the tru maH of the battery coupled with the claimed voltage output. As you use a battery, the output voltage will begin to drop a bit, especially under a heavy load. A 3.7v, 3250 maH battery is probably just as good as a 3.8v, 3100 maH battery.

Yes, you need to set the ESC to LiPo mode to avoid ruining the battery. Also, if you don't already have one, you need a LiPo compatible charger.

Only LiPo and LiFe. Haven't had a battery like that, and haven't tested it. Just get a charger made for the battery to be safe. Always

I personally use the Tenergy TB6-B. It works awesome for any lipo battery. Keep in mind (for at least the version I bought) it only came with the car battery type clamps for power - I use it with a car battery jumper pack in the house/on the go. You can use a wall adapter or buy the version that includes it.

The battery compartment is much smaller then expected, fitting anything else than the stock battery is a challenge. But this particular version has full metal internals, so it can probably handle a 7.4 small type lipo.

Yes20v max and 12v max are the only batterys that work in that ratio.18v dont work in that ratio.But the reception aint good.

Looking throught the papers that came with it they do not specify the mAH. It only states it supports 2 LP - E6 batteries. I have been using 2 1800mAH batteries and they have been working properly. I have not tried using the AA battery adaptor.

I don't have much experience with lipo's. If that's the 11.1v batteries then it might fit but it would be tight. There is a really good video on airsoftgi.com (I think) that goes over several brands side by side so you can see how big they are and which boxes are tougher.

3100 mAh is the capacity of the battery not the output. So no it shouldn't hurt it, just make it last longer.

The higher the mAH will provide longer runtime. It is safe as long as you have same voltage.

Yes. 11.1v source is too high for 7.4v use. It's okay to go higher mAh for longer use or a li'l more power but higher voltage will fry device.

The idea is do not over charge or discharge any Lipo battery (as well as your cellphone and laptop). Just full charge the battery and shoot tens of rounds, disconnected the batteries and put them in a proper place, then you are good with lipos.

I just looked at my battery and it says: 2.4v 500mAh NI-MHBatteryplus.com sells them if you have one local, expensive though. Radioshack should sell them. However, you can check with Amazon in their search area using "2.4v 500mAh NI-MH". Make sure you check the reviews on them.

Yes...just do what directions say to turn the esc to low volt detection.....I run a 3s lipo in mine

I use the power from my bec speed controller if you just want to power the receiver 4 to 6 volts receiver battery will work fine

Need clarification. Are the error codes displayed when connected to the solar panel or lipo batteries after having used on solar panels? Not sure but these are made to check voltages on cells of a battery. The batteries it's designed for are 3.7v on each typically charged to 4.6 or so. If the volage exceeded that it may have damaged the circuitry. Either way they are so cheap I would just get new ones.
