The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Sorry chargers are not a valid reason, I've been using one of these since switching to lipos 7 or so years ago and it's worked perfectly:

https://www.componentshop.co.uk/800ma-charger-for-2s-or-3s-7-4-11-1v-battery-packs-complete-with-mains-power-supply.html

Might not have a digital display but it charges, balances at the same time, cannot over-charge etc etc - cheap, reliable, zero learning required just straight plug and play and fool proof.


I too thought Lipos were over complicated and was worried about the charging. Made the leap with this charger in 2015 and not looked back since and feel a Berk for not doing it years earlier. This charger is literally plug in and play. The only thing I worry about with Lipos now is overusing them, so I swap out and replace, usually at lunchtime.

 
Well that's retarded.  As in they cut off when there's less than 9v supply going in?  Pretty weird with the number of 7.4s out there, I'd have thought a decent mosfet would know what's plugged in to  it.

They’re meant to use 11.1

 
Not originally,  G&G changed it that after they realised they had fucked up. 


Thus the suggestion to ask G&G on Facebook what they think it's meant to run on.  There's no way that a retailer in $CURRENT_YEAR should be recommending NiMh batteries.  That'd be like dealers putting cross-ply tyres on cars to try and fix a handling problem.

Agreed no one should be using nimh anymore.

Lots of the airsoft community are stuck in yesteryear though unfortunately.

Would be better if it ran on 7.4v or 9.9 life as less prone to failure but not a huge issue.


Yea they’ve had a bit of a Weston with that. Just seems odd though as I bought almost exactly the same gun from the same shop about 10 months ago and was told 11.1 only ??‍♂️

Is that also not down to manufacturers and shops alike that either say or offer those batteries as part of the package/instructions for use?

Just put that down to the usual excuse 

"Fucking airsofters"

Most shop staff fit into that category still so it works.

Yeah, so much of airsoft is still stuck in 1999. 

Nothing really advances quickly.

 
Just an interesting spin on the evo I am purchasing was talking to jdairsoft team about getting it a bit cheaper from them and they gave solid advice in their reply. I already knew this as  I had done my research but it's nice to see unprompted advice coming out of a retailer to help with battery decisions. 

if you are considering using a 11.1v lipo battery you would need to purchase the Upgraded spring guide with the M95 spring to make it warranty proof. Evo Spring Guide. And the bonus is we have it all in stock!
