About batteries

I'm unsure why our Airsoft batteries are so poor.

 

3kG airsoft gun gets dropped worst case scenario is a black toe and possible broken pewpew.

 

3kG of quadcopter dropping 300m out of the sky with 4 12" spinning blades = dead squishy human.

 

 

Just checked - my Inspire 1 does 50mph...

That battery is 15 GBP from techshop.

 

I don't think it's about reliability. 

 

Airsoft doesn't need the great performance drones do, but there's no excuse for the offerings in Airsoft at the price they are offered at.

 

I suppose it's because people buy them.

Hit the nail on the head there.

 

Let's face it, that's how Nuprol/Vorsk/Raven et al have been in business for as long as they have.

Here's a selection of my batteries, Airsoft at the bottom. They have all been bought for different applications, the 2 big green ones are spares for large drones I've built in the past, some for electric planes. The big ones were used in pairs and didn't need a high C in the large drone they were used for. The 2 batteries supplied 200A.

When I came back Airsoft, Hobbyking had stopped trading so I got some of what was on offer, it wasn't good .

The green 2.2s are 30C and 40C 11.1s, they might fit in a stock.

The .95 nanotech is for an aep, I have one with the pack split to fit. It's a 25C battery.

Just incase anyone's interested.

But they're reputable brands!
