Default Batteries and chargers

In article , lid says...
Many of the guys running RC planes and boats run the receivers on 5
rechargeable cells (at 1.2V each) instead of 4 dry cells (at 1.5V
each) to overcome this problem.

No. most RC guys run on FOUR cells (4.8v)

Mostly they've moved to LiPo batteries anyway.

For flight power yes, but not the IC or glider boys.

Some use Lipos with 5v regulators on, but most still use nickel
