Lipo Batteries

[Alex34]

Just out of curiousity, what is the largest lipo battery (mah) you have used on your AEG?

Also what's the highest C rating you've used?

I have quite a few RC batteries that are anywhere from 5000mah to 8000mah and 50c to 70c... thinking of a possible mod to my crane stock to support carrying them.

I think the max advisable C rating would be about 35...I don't know much about electrics / batteries in general but I think anything mad like 50-70 would be too much for an airsoft gun?

Optimum 'C' rating from what I've heard is 25.

The gun will only draw as much current as the resistance of the wiring will allow. That said, it would allow the gun to achieve it's fullest potential just before bursting into flames and taking the soul of his first-bown. I say do it and post the video once he gets out of the burns ward.

Lol... it won't burst into flames.

C rating is what 'can' be discharged from the battery, not what 'will' be discharged from the battery. The motor/mosfet/controller will only draw what it can/needs.

I know. I was doing comedy.

Maybe I should change the title... I was looking to see what mods were out there for large battery packs in order to get some ideas.

It's a bit@h trying to find batteries higher than 20C that will fit inside the TM crane stock so was thinking of just using my RC batteries with a modified case or holder attached to the stock.

 

[Lozart]

You can get pouches that attach to the stock but they look awful.

Yeah, I've seen some and they do look awful.

Do you have the 416 with the M4 stock? The standard 416 stock will fit a 2600 mAh battery

 

[Alex34]

It's the Devgru with crane stock. Not a fan of the standard 416 stock.

If ya need more than 2600 then you need to learn to shoot straight lol

If you need to post this then maybe you need to re-read the last two posts. *Edit* lol.

 

[PT247]

please note the "lol" on the end of my post and understand my post was in jest (hint: it isn't "loads of love").

 

[Alex34]

I've found a solution.

The battery will be external but is small enough to fit into a bottom corner of the stock, side saddling the adjustment latch. It sould be barely noticable when I'm finished with it.

I know there are some Turnigy airsoft batteries that are listed as 25C-50C but I've never had luck with Turnigy and I don't trust their specs.

Be interesting to know how 50C effects the performance.
