Interesting points Brian. I'm out and about today shopping, could you recomend a diode or resistor value and how many? Seems much less complex and fool proof than installing/cramming a ccbec in there with the life two cell pack. Trying to keep voltage to the radio about 6v for the sake of the backlight kit. It's at 6.6 right now but if I charge it it will be higher.

Ok did some surfing on the topic and it looks like a 1amp diode will give me the desired .5-1 volt drop. Off to radio shack! Will buy a few and do 2s2p just incase one of the diodes fails it won't pass the extra voltage straight to the tx. Thanks everyone for the help. Put some pics up later.
