Battery problems

[elaiias]

Hi, how are you?

I wanted to ask if anyone knows what could be wrong.

I recorded a video to help you understand. It's a new battery, and I'm having trouble using it in my replica.
It's a G&G Raider.

At first, I thought it was the battery, but I bought another one from the same brand, but with a 7.4 3000mAh capacity, but it still doesn't work (as seen in the video), even though the battery is full (I have the Titan charger).

Hello,

 

That is a bit strange isn't it. When you take the battery off and refit it - does the first shot still fire ok? It seems that after the first one, the second and third die off. The first thing I thought when watching the second vid is that there isn't enough power to turn the motor, but odd that both batteries are resulting in the same, which makes me think it might be the RIF.

 

I did have something similar on a TM I had. It turns out I was pulling the trigger too quickly! What happens when you single shot it 1 round every 2 seconds?

 

Sorry I might not be helping at all here! 😂

 

Cheers

It could be just the sound but that gearbox does not sound right at all ! 

 

Back the motor off a little and retry

Is the video with the charger edited?  If it is not, the charging pattern is very odd and the starting voltage is far too low, which suggests that the battery is being drained very rapidly.  Can you try using a different charger?

From the sound of the gun in the second video, I suspect that either the motor is in too tight or the gears are shimmed too tightly.  As johnnyj said, try backing the motor out a bit.  If that does not work, it will have to be opened up.

That does seem to be a low battery but very strange as its an 11.1

 

Your Imax B6 looks quite different to mine.  (I have the V2)

There should be a specific  battery test mode in the top menu.

Hola,

 

Es un poco raro, ¿verdad? Al quitar la batería y volver a colocarla, ¿el primer disparo sigue disparando bien? Parece que después del primero, el segundo y el tercero se apagan. Lo primero que pensé al ver el segundo vídeo es que no hay suficiente energía para hacer girar el motor, pero es extraño que ambas baterías tengan el mismo resultado, lo que me hace pensar que podría ser el fallo de encendido .

 

Me pasó algo parecido con una MT. ¡Resulta que apretaba el gatillo demasiado rápido! ¿Qué pasa si disparas una bala cada dos segundos?

 

¡Lo siento, quizás no esté ayudando en nada aquí! 😂

Hello, thanks for the reply.

I think that some cable broke, because the strange thing is that they don't walk with these batteries in specific, but with lipo batteries from other brands it does work, could it be that it doesn't last so many manhs?

Another thing is that it does not work when the battery is at 80%

Eso parece ser una batería baja, pero es muy extraño ya que es una 11.1

 

Tu Imax B6 se ve bastante diferente al mío (tengo el V2).

Debería haber un modo de prueba de batería específico en el menú superior.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

At first I thought the same, but I used the imax b6 charger and the titan charger for these specific batteries and they tell me that both are full, with Lipo batteries from other brands if the weapon works, could it be that it does not hold so many mahs? or layers some cable connection does not work.

¿Está editado el video del cargador? Si no, el patrón de carga es muy extraño y el voltaje de arranque es demasiado bajo, lo que sugiere que la batería se está descargando muy rápido. ¿Podrías probar con otro cargador?

Por el sonido de la pistola en el segundo video, sospecho que el motor está demasiado apretado o que los engranajes están demasiado ajustados. Como dijo johnnyj, intenta aflojar un poco el motor. Si eso no funciona, tendrás que abrirlo.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

Yes, in one part I had to pause it because I couldn't connect the battery.

The replica has at least 328 fps, but the strange thing is that with other 1200-1500mah Lipo batteries it does work.

Podría ser sólo el sonido, ¡pero esa caja de cambios no suena bien en absoluto! 

 

Retroceda un poco el motor y vuelva a intentarlo. 

Hello, thanks for the reply.

You mean the HOPE?, otherwise I don't know how to do it, it's my first marker haha

The mAh is not a measure of the power when you pull the trigger.  Its the total power it can hold so how long it should last.

I think those batteries are faulty especially if you say other batteries work.

That I bought two defective batteries is very bad luck hahaha.

I'm going to try to return them

Aside, are those Titans just 3 18650 lithium ion cells taped together?

 

Sorry, looks like they're fucked. There's no way they should jump from 3.17v per cell (nearly discharged) right up to 4.2v like that.

Yes, the one in the video is 3 cells. But that's the way the batteries are

It's a smart move to make them from 18650s, they're ubiquitous in pretty much everything from electric shavers to electric cars - if you pop open a car battery, thousands of them will spill out.

 

However, it also leaves you vulnerable to bad batches or bait-and-switch by suppliers, or ham handed construction. I note Titans claim to be "made in the USA", which isn't the flex they imagine.
