Batteries Question

[Endorser]

Probably a thousand topics on this in the forum but couldnt find any recent ones. Would a 9.6V 3700mAh SC NiMH be harmful to the gearbox of my G&G top tech AK47 more so than an 8.4v of lower mAh?

 

Thank you in advanced

Nah doubt it IIRC a 7.4V LiPo is equivalent to a 9.6V NiMh

Gearbox upgrades should only be necessary for 11.1V LiPos / owt above 7.4 LiPo basically

stop buying new nimah or nicad's

if 9.6v is a good price s/hand yeah ok maybe

but me - just go lipo and be done with it

 

there is the 9.9v life batteries which are a good gap filler between 7.4v & 11.1v lipo's

but on tweaked guns with high rof my 9.9v life's hardly showed any real increase over decent 7.4v lipo's

even a 30c 9.9v life fresh off charge showed very little extra zest compared to my regular 25c & 30c 7.4v's

 

Stock & mildly tweaked guns yeah - the life fills the lipo gap

but must be a limit on the juice it can supply coz not an amazing boost with higher springs/rof setups

 

if you seek higher rof then eventually a good neo motor and lipo is way to go

anything else will hold you back
