That battery holder is a good idea ******. I assume it fits? I intend to use Sanyo Eneloop nimh. These cells hold a full charge for months like alkalines. I've been using them on my non-heli gear. And each time I use a device that is just on standby, I get full power.

Yea, its good to get a replacement battery of some kind cause the stock DX7 battery don't last for anything. I use my DX7 for my simulator, and the stock batteries would drain it very bad. Now, my charge stays around 11v contsant.

I"m not sure, but I do know that if it get too low, the transmitter starts beeping. I think it might be around 8 volts.
