Much appreciated for the informative post!

I'm looking at this battery currently as I've heard the higher the mah the longer it'll last?

Thanks!

105 x 22 x 12mm weight 98g

it is the 22mm width that "might" be an issue
(if crane stock tubes are a bit tight)

you normally have say 120mm up to 130mm length, so say up to 125mm
the ye olde nimah's were about 18mm round in diameter, with a wire running down side so was about 19mm diameter

https://www.componentshop.co.uk/9-6v-1600mah-2-3a-nimh-mini-cranestock-battery-4-4.html

now the above is a classic 2 x 4 1.2v cell making a 9.6v Nimah type battery designed for crane stocks

and as said 19~20mm should be OK but be careful some cranes won't take much more

(Think some like G&G Combat machine crane stocks are 20mm max with circular tubes

others have a bit more room and some like Cyma cheapo guns have room for 22mm diameter cells

A Wrigleys Extra pack of gum is 22m wide and just fits in Cyma crane tubes, but others it won't)

So be careful ordering batteries that might be tight squeeze in some stocks

Often it is wiser to ensure the dimensions are a little under to allow for minor variations/tiny swelling & leads etc...

 Even this might be pushing it as it seems to be 21mm wide:

2 of these maybe might be a slightly safer option, but 20mm:

or maybe 2 of these:

116mm x 17mm x 13mm easily fit in, could shove both in the tubes (1 in each)

so you go out but option to switch over if you feel it getting low

or the option to wire them in parallel to make a 2400 7.4v Lipo

(don't connect in series or you make a 14.8v battery)

The battery you were looking at "might" fit OK, but just saying be careful as some crane stocks are bigger/smaller

so the larger size/capacity battery packs could be a squeeze if you make an unwise purchase

you "might" be better of playing safe with 1 or 2 slightly smaller cells, then if you got room you can buy one you know will fit

(once you have the gun and be fairly certain how much room you to play with)

Even with all this knowledge/wisdom I've still fucked up buying some batteries I knew would fit

only to find out later - nahhhh, those dimensions in the specs are not quite 101% accurate

(better to blame specs in description than admit I myself fucked up buying a battery too big coz I thought I knew best)

That is true regarding most of the time stated dimensions on the websites arent always perfect rounded up or so.

If you check the link to vapex that one has different dimensions but for the same battery and think that's the manufacture too.

I could even order the batteries once I have the gun as could measure the stock.
