One stick battery for buffer tube

[Azathoth]

Is this for a SPR setup pushing 400 FPS? I'm curious to what your trigger response is and if you are running a capacitor

If I have a G&P buffer tube, will I be able to put a 7.4V lipo inside?

yes.

[turok_t]

The lipo im interested in has 1200MAH, 20C, which has an output of 24A.. Will this be enough to drive a stock CA gearbox??

should be, as the fuse in a stock gun is 15A

Is it the one that I show you in PM ? oh ! yeah, It has enough juice to run 400 fps run easily even a PTW. I even tested on mine with blue cylinder before it sold.

and Yes, it fine in G&P buffer tube without problem except if that buffer is not Lipo specific, you might not be able to put your stock in zero position, it's possibly start from second position. We won't use it in zero position anyway.

Actually, the one you sent me was 11.1V and the one im interested is the G&P 7.2V. I just wanted to make sure that it would be provide sufficient amperage to my stock CA gun since this article i read (http://infectedairsoft.wordpress.com...teries-part-1/) said that you need 30A and the G&P lipo I want only provides 24A..

Anyways, do you think I should stick with the G&P lipo charger to match my G&P lipo battery or go with something else? Im looking for a cheap charger, but also, a charger that doesnt explode on me..

As Im doing my research now, it seems that alot of people use "alarms" to ensure their lipos dont drop below 3V. Ive saw some alarms on ebay and some on hobbyking.com. Which alarm provides the MOST accurate reading? (KND, i read your other posts saying that most of them are not accurate, and that the preferred method is to use a multimeter). Im looking for something that can provide me accurate readings while im using my gun. I thought about a trigger mosfet but that is waaaaay over my budget.

hmm ! you mean the battery that I provide the link is not efficiency enough for your CA gun. You mind tell what is it inside the box ? You don't need something more than 20 C discharge rate to run almost AEG in the market right now. It's just simply useless, heavy ROF what so ever. Again, the battery that I provide to you is enough to run almost any guns from 400 to 450 fps without a sweat. It's a matter that 11.1 Lipo is give more ROF than 7.4 V, stick to semi if you are using 11.1 V or get someone do a good shimming job on your box.

You don't need to look for that alarm, it's pretty useless. I have one, I can give out free if you pay shipping. The last link that I provide to you is call Lipo Monitor, it indicate each cell's voltage. All you need to do is plug your battery then you will see what left in your battery. It's pretty accurate so far for reading Lipo unless you plan to carry Multimeter in the field to be more precise than that.

Edit : Any charger specific for Lipo can charge any Lipo battery. I'm better stick to RC charger since they have been in this more than us. Trust them, you won't regret.

[turok_t]

No no no i didnt mean that battery you u provided is not efficient for my CA gun. Just wanted to point out that the battery you told me was different than the one Im interested in.

Do I really need a balancer and a good charger? I heard that if the cells reach below 3v, they will die. I was thinking about getting the G&P lipo charger, but its just a basic charger and im not sure if its sufficient.

My main concern is the cells reaching below 3v if i dont have an accurate alarm.

Wolfdragon makes some pretty snazzy LIPO alarms.. He's got one with a 60DB buzzer that'll start ringing if your battery drops below 3v/cell

Which will mark you as a target on the field until you can pull that battery. Which then will render you defenseless untill you can get a new one in. Lol

Too bad madbull didn't make an LFP that would fit in the buffer tube.

After reading this entire thread that I have created, I think im just going to stick with my NiMH battery. I guess I'll just use my crane stock to house the battery for my gun instead of my CTR stock. The CTR stock will only be used for displaying only.

Why? Seriously...Lipo's are fine and you don't need an alarm. Just get yourself a Voltage checker and plug it in if your worried about the voltage dropping below 3v per cell.


Lipo's are not to be feared but you just need to respect them. Step out of your comfort zone.

1. Would I keep this plugged in my gun inside the buffer tube? Or do I take our the battery intermittently to check the voltage? I recall KND said that these things are very inaccurate.

2. Here is a thought. Since I do indoor chairsofting and play no more than 1.5hrs a time, should I just charge it after everytime I use it to prevent the voltage from dropping too much?

3. Ive been looking at some of the B6 chargers from IMAX and Turnigy, is a balancer really required? I prefer to get a G&P charger for my G&P 7.4V lipo but i dont think this charger has an internal balancer.

You'll be fine with the B6 Charger..I have a brand new one I can sell you since I recently switched over to Gas almost exclusively.

Your a plinker..you'll be just fine.
