- It is not difficult to change the connector if you have the need to. A basic knowledge of soldering and a connector and you are in business.
What is Voltage ?
Now a word about Voltage.
Airsoft batteries are in ranges of different volts, from 7.2v up to 12.8v. but the most common is from 7.2 to 9.6 volts.
Voltage is the push that moves the charge along the wire.
Higher voltage will give you better performance.A higher voltage will give better push and flow to the guns motor.greater flow of electrical current to the motor.Please be careful and do not pick a higher voltage battery that may not be compatible for the gun you have.High voltage can cause the triggers to burn out if not designed for the voltage.
How Long Will The Battery Last
MaH is Milli Amp Hours. This rating will determine on how long it will run the gun. With experience you can find out how long a battery will las in your gun so you can carry spares. it is alway advisable to carry a few spares as 3 batteries should last all day.
Lipo Special Care
It is safe to say LiPo Batteries are the batteries most in use now but they are a little problematic and can catch fire is it is shorted out ( that is if the positive + comes into contact with the negative - without anything in between to use the power.
Care is also required when charging so make sure the proper charging using it used. If they are allowed to run down completely too fast they can be ruined and will not recharge. They are popular because they are small and have a lot of power. Make sure you stop firing before the battery when the power starts to decrease. Do not let it run down completely as this will damage the battery.
