Like I said before, if you want to use 2s LiFE, just use a single diode in series. That will make the voltage to the radio around 6.5v (from personal experience, this voltage is fine) fresh off the charger, and around 4.8v (which is what 4xNiMHs are nominal) near the end of the cycle. And since diodes drop a static 0.7v, the voltage display will give an accurate indication of the charge level (just add 0.7v).
