Solved Can a Nihm battery esc be used for Lipo batteries?

[BS projects inc.]

I accidentaly ordered a 30amp nihm 5-12s esc, can I still use a 4s 850mah lipo battery on it or will a fire ensue?

Max Nimh voltage is 12x1.2v = 14.4v. Max 4s voltage is 4.2x4=16.8v. That will likely smoke the ESC. Send it back.
