John51 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 So yesterday my MP-40 AGM came to my home and I really wanted to try it out.So after charging the battery for 20 minutes,I put it into the gun and after pressing the trigger I heard a really faint sound.And that was it.After that point the battery just won't charge.I had it charging for 12 Hrs(as the manual says)and it wasn't hot at all!The charger on the other hand was hot as h*ll!I know I made a stupid mistake on my part but there must be a fix or something...
John51 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 I just ordered a new battery.It's manufacturer is Hong Kong.I think it's gonna be better than the one I that have .
Supporters Rogerborg Posted June 28, 2018 Supporters Posted June 28, 2018 Is this a Nihm battery and a dumb charger? I'd bin (well, recycle) them, and get yourself a lipo charger and a couple of appropriately sized 7.4v lipos from HobbyKing: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/batteries/airsoft.html?config=52 Ideally you'd want to rewire the gun to Deans (what HobbyKing call 'T-connector') but let's leave that for the intermediate class. For now, you can stick to mini-Tamiya and think about rewiring everything later.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted June 29, 2018 Supporters Posted June 29, 2018 Eff me. We've seen chargers catch fire as well. That's one for trading standards, if you're minded to put the time in.
