BrutalLemon Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hi, New to the forums just wanted to ask a question and see if anybody can help me. I bought a Cybergun Colt M4A1 today but it said on the box and I was aware it didn't come with a battery or charger. Does anybody know where in the UK, particularly the internet I could buy both of these? Also...does the mAh of a battery matter as long as it's the right voltage? Hard to find the exact one they tell me to get in the manual. In the manual it says: Only use the rechargeable Cybergun batteries HIGH PERFORMANCE BATTERY items no.603227 (1100 mAh - 8,4V Nimh) and no. 603222 (1100 mAh - 12V) Help, please?

I have made a slight mistake. The battery is in the gun! I opened it up last night and it was in there. Just need a charger now. Fun fun! I shall check out that website you sent though, thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrutalLemon Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Sorry man another quick question. I'm just very cautious of buying something online unless it's 100% the right thing. Do you know if the charger has to be the same mAh as the battery? Cos I can't find a 1100 mAh charger but not sure if it has to be exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padraigthesniper Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 you just need any nicd or nimh smart charger and i would recommend component shop as they have by far the best prices and service and if you actually want to skirmish that gun i suggest you get 2 1600 mah 8.4v aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The mAH refers to the capacity of the battery, so the higher the number the long it'll last. It doesn't have anything to do with the charger (Except how long it takes to charge!) so just look for a decent charger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexmerc Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 i would recommend component shop as they have by far the best prices and service I fully agree with padraig as well, I have always received first class service from component shop as well, you will have no problem buying from them.

Yeh it would be a lovely gun to skirmish with, nice weight to it as well. Thank you for your recommendations. Have you got this particular gun?
