More than likely, that rating is based on (very common) 25V components. Teh highest I've seen NIMH cells charge to is 1.45V/cell, which still puts it below 25V. 6S is just over that.

The thing with the MMax is that it seemed to have also used common 25V components, so bumping up from 12 cells to even 16 doesn't put things over spec. The MGM would handle the increased amp load with more headroom tho.
6s A123 would be ok IMO, but 6s Lipo would be asking for it. It may live for a while, but you may get a much reduced lifespan. With the wait and expense, its not as good of platform to experiment on as the MM.
