6V packs servo safe or not

So, is it safe to use an unregulated 6v pack with any quality receiver and servos? I have always used the Duralite regulator, but would like to get rid of it so I can quick charge directly through the switch without taking the canopy off and disconnecting the battery. 
 
I was told that I could do that anyway depending on how it was wired, but I set it up exactly as the instruction say and am not able to quick charge through the jack.
 
Thanks
Anthony

Have used lots of Airtronics 735/732's on 6v with no problems. Also, had 
some 751's on six volts. Usually if the mfg specs the servo on 6v then it is 
no problem using 6v. I believe Futaba was the only one who used to advise 
against 6v use.
