    That's a first. Bought some 9.9v 1000mah Life batteries and they arrived pretty much fully charged. Less prep for Sunday and fielding the ics ape for the first time.

    CHECK YOUR SETTINGS

    DO NOT CHARGE THEM AS LIPO's !!!!

    Lipo's charge up to 4.2v max charge

    LiFe's charge up to 3.8v max charge

    (I think but don't quote me)

    you can push half a volt charge onto them

    but LiPo's are 3.7v & LiFe's are 3.3v

    So they need different settings in ya IMAX B6

    or a B3 type with a proper LiFe output

    You probably know all this but just passing it on

    Don't damage your LiFe's - ergh is that suicide then ?

    Don't overcharge your LiFe batteries by charging them on LiPo settings

    Happy charging etc....

    Don't worry and cheers for the advice Sitting Duck. They were charged on life. Fortunately the charger has a idiot proof indicator aside from the switch. Lipos settings cause all led's to turn blue and life settings cause the led's to turn green when selected.

    That is probably coz a used LiFe drops to 3v or less

    On a Lipo you get a cell failure if it goes too low

    Then you need to trickle charge the low LiPo

    When it gets back above say 3.2v or more then

    You should be able to charge the LiPo on the B6 again

    Too easy to plug it in to cheapo China B3 type chargers

    let it charge not knowing it will overcharge a LiFe !!!

    Some B3's have a LiFe setting or so but not all/most

    B6 is a bit of learning curve coz you edit the LiPo settings

    Or make up your custom one

    But I "think" it still needs to toggle Lipo to LiFe in settings

    (bit of a faff tbh)

    IMHO - I never found the LiFe THAT bigger difference

    compared to using a good 25c or 30c 7.4v LiPo

    maybe in stock guns but never noticed much on a tweaked gun

    Supposed to be the ideal stop gap between 7.4v & 11.1v

    Bought 9.9v for FireHawk - bloody tight fit in stock tube

    Then said sod it & chucked fixed stubby stock & cheap block 7.4v

    Somewhere I got a monster 4000mah or something for full stock

    Not that impressed so not bothered to buy again

    But it might work out OK for you in your gun

    Just watch your charge settings

    (and go deans if you can solder properly)

    So. If you had £300 to buy a brand new airsoft gun. What would you go for? Suitable for outdoor woodland play.

    @Prisce It would certainly be the more fun option, never leave the safe zone without mine ;)  

    Often its the only thing I take!

    You and me both! I keep getting called a dirty b@5t@rd with mine... apparently something that quiet and deadly makes people upset.

    Probably another VZ58, get a second compact, but with the standard VZ mags instead of M16 mags this time; just for a change!  :lol:

    Currently doing the same...painful having to shell out £££’s again

    Lessons of the weekend. My krytac is awesome sauce. All goggles go to heaven eventually. Valken bb's are crap. Old training never dies. 

    G
    Impatiently waiting for a call/Mail from pro-airsoft confirming the arrival of their krytac shipment with my new lmg in it. Dakka dakka dakka

    In reality. Is there going to be much difference in accuracy between a 10.5 inch and 14.5 inch barrel ? Especially for woodland play

    To be honest I was sure if it would. But wanted to double check

    Was looking at kwa scout erg mate. But a. Restricted to places I could get to. May get a TM instead

    What a decision to have to make.

    Krytac lvoa, ics hog or kwa rm4 scout erg. Decisions decisions decisions.

    RM4 looks really interesting and you can re-wire to rear with the RM4A1 buffer tube. I'd give it a shot, it just looks like fun.

    Going a bit more old skool this weekend. Dpm and lsw. Especially if I can get the battleaxe mag to fit the lsw

    If it's the twin mag style one, you may have issues accessing the mag release catch (I did with my WE l85 and it's hpa mag)

    Bit more old Sokol this weekend. Going dpm for my look and lsw especially if I can get the battleaxe mag to feed it.
