I saw that the T200 is rated for 16-20 volts, so 5S would be just slightly out of that …

Hey Adam, I read that thread before posting my question – I’m still a bit confused about whether a 5S battery is really considered to be > 20 volts since the nominal voltage is 18.5 and it would only be over 20 volts for a brief period while nearly fully charged. Is that still enough to push the t…

Hi @BlueUser , Officially, the maximum supported voltage of the T200 is 20 V. The fully charged voltage of a 5S battery is beyond this at 21V, so it does exceed the spec and pushed beyond official limits.
