5 cell batt. pack question

[jim ivey]

John
I believe the people that use 6 v packs use a regulator to lower the Volt to
5.2V. A charged 6v pack is around 7V.
I only use 4 cell packs also. They are simpler and have 1 less component to
fail (regulator).

My stuff is all JR and i only use 4 cell packs. Is it OK to replace his
original 1000 mah 6 volt pack with the same? Will there be any servo
jittering problems at peak charge?
