You cant use a lipo without some kind of regulator.

The dx3s runs on 4.8 volts. each lipo cell is 3.7v

It can actually run on 6v safely. 4 regular AA cells (1.5v) equals 6v.

Where are you going to get 6volts? Not from a lipo.

4 new AA carbon cells will commonly register 6.4 volts. I was just explaining that the DX3 radios are designed to run at more then 4.8 volts. There are many reports of people using 2c LiPo packs with the DX3r/s radios.... not that I am saying do it, just that it has been done with no reported failures that I could find.

Alright. got ya. I just wouldnt think its a good idea, because a 2 cell lipo is 8.4 volts when fully charged. Like you said, good AA batts can be 1.5+ per cell so around 6 volts.

I've got the DX3 3.0 and it uses 8 AA batteries=12V you think the internals are different on the S model? Does that mean I could use a 2 cell Lipo??

You could use a 3 cell lipo on your dx3.0 but not on a dx3s. The dx3s is very similar to the dx3r. it uses 4 AA's just like the dx3r
