Hibernator Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Component Shop are great if they get the order right first time, but if it's wrong then their after sales is almost none existent. I ordered a couple of batteries and a couple of adaptor leads off them a while back and only the leads showed up in a small envelope. I chased them for the batteries a few times but got no reply and it was only resolved when I filed a Paypal dispute. Even then they sent me an email saying they were going to reship the batteries "you claim didn't arrive" - basically intimating I was trying to rip them off! I try not to use them now, but they seem to be the best place for stock tube sized batteries. I got my charger from RC Helicopters online and get a lot of batteries from Giant Shark ( http://www.giantshark.co.uk/ ). They normally come with weird connectors so the first thing I do is convert them to Deans myself, but the prices are fantastic. These fit perfectly in a PEQ15 box and can be charged at 5c (in about 10 mins!!!) http://www.giantshark.co.uk/charge-loong-tipple-1300-2s1p-20c30c-lipo-battery-p-404350.html Would you believe in getting that link, I've just noticed they've started doing stock tube Lipos too!! http://www.giantshark.co.uk/gens-1200-2s1p-lipo-battery-airsoft-p-406614.html Bye-bye Component Shop from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev.k Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Do maplin sell decent chargers? I prefer not to use mail order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tariq Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Maplins is horrendous!!! Every time i go into one i just end up laughing at how expensive everything is. If you're worried about online sales, buy from a major airsoft retailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimente Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm not sure but I can try and find out for you at the weekend unless anybody replies first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev.k Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I just get sick of waiting for everything, and it always arrives when I'm at work. There aren't many airsoft shops around Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibernator Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think First and Only is in Manchester... Airsoft guns use exactly the same types of battery as radio controlled cars and helicopters. If you have a model store or radio control store near you then you'll be able to buy batteries and chargers easily enough - usually at much better prices than airsoft retailers.
