Blowback Battery?

[MAB]

I need to get a new battery for my G&G blowback. I was wondering what battery voltage and mAH is recommended for a blowback since it takes more energy.
Thanks for all the help.

I use a 9.6v in my G&G with pneumatic blow back without any problems. MaH can be whatever you want it to be, but I run a 4,000 MaH in mine. You can get really cheap batteries custom built for you at http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com which is where I order my batteries. They usually ship out 1-2 days after you order, so if you want it for the weekend order it soon.

Dosn't the mah make the gun last longer on the field? Or am I mistaken. Thanks for the link.

Any normal AEG battery (8.4v-9.6v nimh/nicd or 7.2v lipo) because G&G's ebb is pneumatic, not mechanical.

The higher the voltage the better the performance (in terms of ROF and trigger response) and the higher the mah the longer the battery will last.

i was looking at this site and had a question. which balance connector would one have to buy to use in a balancer? it gives the options of align, thunder power, polyquest/polyrc style

You only need a balancer for LiPo batteries if i'm not mistaken, a normal smart charger should be adequate. In terms of MaH, yes, a higher rating on the MaH of a battery means you can shoot more. On standard AEG's, 1 MaH is about the same amount of energy it takes to shoot 1 BB.

yea i was asking about the lipo packs they sell there, i was gonna buy one but i didnt know which balance connecter is the "normal" one that comes with the 3s lipo chargers.

Short answer:

The bigger the V number, the faster and more responsive the gun.

The bigger the mAh number, the longer the gun lasts.


Long, better answer:

The V stands for voltage. The greater the voltage, the greater the power the battery supplies to the gun when the circuit is completed.

The mAh stands for milliamp hours, or the number of hours the pack would last given a constant 1 milliamp draw of current. Because the system uses a pneumatic blowback system (meaning there aren't necessarily more moving parts, just parts arranged specially) it doesn't use NOTICABLY more energy (usually...Murphy's law trumps all).

That said, the higher the voltage you go, the more durable your internals need to be. As far as milliamps (capacity), the biggest you can get is best - this will give you the longest life on the field before having to change batteries.

Not to restate something that may have been said before... But in the case of G&G, rumor is that the leftover energy used for each shot from the battery gets distributed to the blowback system. Pneu. BB is used with something involving the piston/cylinder, so I would assume that it doesn't take much power for the blowback. Don't worry about getting more mah because of the blowback system, but if you can it is obviously a good choice to get as much mah as you can.

The G&G blow back series do not use extra battery for the blow back. The air from each shot is redirected above the cylinder into a smaller cylinder that is connected to the mock bolt. So if anything you will be losing velocity, not battery power. However, the velocity drop is hardly even worth mentioning because it is so insignificant. If that is a concern, get a bigger spring, but that WILL make the battery work harder. Hopefully that explains a few things.

My G&G has a crane stock, I already got this battery http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=2772 but it didn't fit at all. My brother has this one http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=2428 and I tried it in my gun but it was a major tight fit and when I finally got it in It could only stay on the longest position. Can anyone recommended one that will fit in my crane stock? Would this one fit? http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=3372

Just cause it says "crane stock battery" doesn't mean it will fit in a crane stock. For that gun, you'll need a nunchuck type battery. That last battery you put up should work, but I run 1400mah nunchucks out of my gun. I've never used a 1600mah before, I know the 1400mah's fit perfectly.

I have both of those batteries, and they both worked fine for me. The 2000mah is pretty tight I must admit, but that 1600mah fits absolutely fine. Keep in mind that the 1600 will have less over all playing time on it than the 2000. I've been able to get the 2000 to fit down to the 3rd setting or so, it's all about finding how to manage the wires which can take a good 30 minutes or so to figure out. I would recommend trying to fit the 2000 again and see if you can get that working just fine, if not then go with the 1600. Hope that's helpful.

He has to fit this battery in a crane stock. You can't fit that 2000mah battery in the stock. It's impossible. Have you seen a cranes stocks battery space before?

[Marauder]

Yes, I know exactly what he is talking about. I have the same gun and crane stock he is referring to. I should have been more specific, the chubby 2000mah will not fit. The longer, skinny 2000mah will work, I use it all the time.
