jervase Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 High all can anyone advise me about what I need to do to convert my m4 over to lipo battery's and do I need to get something to regulate them as I don't want to hurt my baby m4.
Mike636 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Would probably help if your were a tad more specific about which M4 you have.
Supporters sp00n Posted July 22, 2013 Supporters Posted July 22, 2013 As per what mike636 said, what m4 have you got? If its one of the good makes they will usually take a 7.4v lipo out of the box, how ever for added pice of mind you could fit a MOSFET and do a wiring upgrade etc
jervase Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Sorry I got a g&g hop and metel gear gearbox with shims I think my m4 is cyber gun it's compleatly metel it's the motor getting hot that I'm worried about is it wise to use a MOSFET and a set of deans connectors. Thank you for taking the time to help me I only been Airsofting about 5 months but I skirmish every two weeks and I don't really like messing with what I don't understand so thank you
RR01 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 The motor will get hot through use and is quite normal. It's if the battery gets very hot that you have problems, usually a short circuit or jammed gearbox. Most guns should be able to take a 7.4 Lipo without any changes, as it's not really much different than fitting a 9.6V NihM, just smaller. If you do go for a Lipo, then either fit a Mosfet with Lipo cutout, so that you can't over discharge the Lipo (that will kill it quickly) or get a Lipo Alarm to fit in the charging plug, which will beep at you if the cell voltage drops near 3V per cell.
