Batteries

Postby NVAirsofter » Fri Feb 04, 2011 3:33 pm

Does it really matter about the brand of batteries?? :/ I'm looking to buy a new battery for my gun, but I was wondering if brand really means anything or if its about the battery itself.

Good things come to those who wait, assuming the early bird hasn't gotten it already and left you diddly squat.

Brand of the company you buy from, not so much. Brand of the cells is immensely important. ELITE cells are top of the line. I love my Elite 9.6 1500mah pack.

Intellect is also a good brand, but Elite is the best bang for your buck, and believe me; it's a lot of bang!

Ok. How would I go about checking the brand of batteries?

As long as it says "Lipo" it's a good brand. ;) :lol:

My Father buys his (non-airsoft) batteries from Sanyo, and noticed their name on some of my old 8.4v's. He said "oh, I buy from those guys all the time". I figure they must be good...But Intellect is what I have.

I was under the impression we were talking about chemical failure due to excessive overcharging/discharging a battery, not due to acting like a jackass and stabbing it with a "pokey stick"
