    7.2V, 7.7V, 8.0V, it's all marketing. Charge and measure. 8.4V.

I wouldn't be surprised if the top speed and wind resistance were also crippled by firmware. Manufacturers do it all the time. There may be hardware differences between...

Going out of this range shortens the battery life significantly. In general, 3.6V is considered the...
