xJLF Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 hi there, my m4 came with an 8.4v battery, and i want to increase my rate of fire, but dont know whether a 9.4v battery would mess up my gun or not, as you can probably see im a bit of an airsofting newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TPI Posted November 1, 2012 Supporters Share Posted November 1, 2012 I do Beleive that 9.6V will increase your ROF But you will also need to be able to accept another cell where ever it is that the battery is hidden another simple way to increase ROF is by changing your Tamiya connector's to dean's plug's although i'd advise going 8.4V Nimh to 7.4V Lipo aswell as dean's on both it mean's different charger's and stuff's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted November 1, 2012 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted November 1, 2012 Are you aware of the increased load on the gearbox if you do this? What battery do you currently have? Even another 8.4v of high quality and of better capacity will give you better results. Also switch to deans if you have not done so already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xJLF Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 my battery is an 8.4v 1100maH NiMH, and thanks i'll look into changing to deans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl1k Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Manufacturers do the 'don't use over 8.4v' as a means to not honour the warranty. In truth, majority of AEGs will work fine with 9.6 1600mah batteries and a nice deans connector conversion. Infact any half decent manufacturer now accepts the use of 9.6 on their AEGs, or 7.4v lipo would be cool without the need of a mosfet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy95 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hi, sorry if its a little off subject but does a 7.4 lipo give roughly the same ROF as an 8.4 NiMH? And will an ultr high torque motor handle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TPI Posted January 2, 2013 Supporters Share Posted January 2, 2013 A 7.4 Lipo is gonna Equate to roughly a 9.6V NiMH I would imagine it will handle well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil airsofter Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 it matters a bit what gun you have to wehter it will take it or not but if you have a manufacturer issue 1100 batterey then a 1600 8.4 may boost your fire rate a little as well, but there are others ways to increase your fire rate as well or to take presure off the gearbox if you really do want to go to a 9.6 or a lipo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
