    Clanktank got a reaction from Rogerborg in Charging Lipo AEP via a power bank,and where are my bb's?   
    The USB connector has some LED's in the plug, so it's red and flashing green for charging, and just fully green for fully charged. I guess the thing cuts out when charged.

    The documentation advises a charger plug rating of 1-2A, and to use the charging cable until the LED's tell you to stop. Charging time is supposed to be one hour.
    I have another charger bank that's rated at 2A, and the phone charger plug I'm using is rated at 1A. I'll try the lower output bank first. Seems a good solution for field charging from a bank.

    I may look at the S65 charger, seems a good choice.

    I just wanted an intro gun, and because I have no UKARA yet it's a two-tone. I'm still pretty much in isolation as I'm a vulnerable person, so plinking in the garden for a few months until I try some events, have a try on some rental and other players guns, and decide what proper ones to get. 👍
    Without any experience at the moment I'm looking at AEP for those as well, or spring sniper for outdoors. Gas is cool, but seems a lot of expense, more failures, and extra maintenance, but I'll keep assessing. The SSP18 does look interesting though. 😎

    It's the standard connection for Lipos, you won't need a seperate cable with any lipo charger

    Good point. I'll buddy up with my brother as he knows the score.
    To be fair, even if it does fail it's probably not going to effect me immediately and cause a medical emergency.

     
     

    I was thinking something more discrete. 😄

    Something I'd let your medical professional know when discussing it is that no matter how slow you're taking play, being hit with a BB can give you quite the jolt and a rush of adrenaline depending on where you get hit.

    Bloody cheek!! How dare they use my photo without asking! Lol
    I wish. 👀😉

    Well you can buddy up with me then cause I'm usually bringing up the rear cleaning up the left over pickings from the young bravehearts who have courageously forged ahead. Full steam ahead and no hand signals. That's the motto of the able. Lol

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I have a younger brother who used to play so will ask him to buddy up the first time.
    I have the pacemaker on the left side, and am left handed, but luckily fire right sided so shouldn't be an issue.
    I'm in Swindon.
    I kind of feel like I will be the a**hole guy at the back, walking around and sneaking kills. 😉
    It seems the best route is don't ask don't tell, then any issues are my own.

    Best advice I can offer - give the site you wish to play a call direct and ask, that way you won’t lose any money - hitting them up on social media is worth a punt too.
    Most sites waivers are basically “you play at your own risk as long as you meet our minimum requirements” they may ask for a doctors clearance but more than likely go on “are you fit enough?”
    addition - try a CQB site if there’s on near you, you’ll get a taste and it’s no yomping over miles but it’s fast enough to get the heart pumping
  10. Thanks

    I think that's the job of the pacemaker Mik. Lol
    I have never been asked about my health nor have I had to sign any declaration that I am fit enough to play. 
    Been questioned few times about my mental state though! But let's face it we's all a bit crackers to be doing this!🤪😉
    I think you will be fine to play clanktank with or without vest although more protection the better lol

    AEGs use an electric motor in the grip, which is tucked close to your chest.
     
    You can go for gas guns, but gas rifles take more maintaining and cost more to run, and rentals are electric.
     
    I'd run that one past a doctor first.
     
    As regards asking the site, doing so puts them in an awkward position.  If they say yes, they've created liability for themselves where none existed (and they can't disclaim away liability for personal injury or death, despite those silly waiver forms that we all have to sign)
     
    If they say no, they've... created liability where none existed, as they should then proactively prohibit pacemakers for all players, and once they or their insurers start thinking about medical conditions which preclude play, that list could get quite long, quite fast.
     
    It's best for them if you don't ask and they don't tell.  And any opinion they give is likely to be informed more by insurers/lawyers than medical advice, so again: I'd check with your own sawbones.
