Battery storage

Shrapnel[Op-For] · October 19th, 2009, 02:07

I have my gun wired from the buffer tube with a deans connector as I used to use lipos. I was just wondering, what alternatives are there for buffer tube wirings? I don't want to use lipos as I dumb as bricks when it comes to that type of stuff, and I don't know how to properly take care and maintain lipos.

I thought of a battery bag attached to the stock with a basic 9.6v type of battery, but thats if there are no other options as I don't really like the look of the bag with the wires sticking out. Are there batteries that fit in buffertubes other than lipos?

Thanks

Your options are:

- lipo in the buffer tube
- battery bag on the stock
- fullstock
- crane stock with crane battery

ah yes, I completely forgot about cranestocks. Any suggestions on cranstock + battery combonations?

Styrak · October 19th, 2009, 03:57

What do you mean? Brand of crane stock?

Shrapnel[Op-For] · October 19th, 2009, 04:10

Yeah that would be much appreciated. I know g&p makes one, like a package deal.. cranestock and battery.

Styrak · October 19th, 2009, 04:14

Any of the major brand would be a good choice.

Does anyone have any recommendations for lipo chargers? Preferably a simple, user friendly one? I understand lipos must be kept charged, not undercharged, or overcharged.. so is there a charger that will basically charge my battery, and keep it from exploding?

Okay, so I did some digging, and found my lipo charger from last year. Is this a good enough charger, or would it be better to get a different one. http://www.khmountain.com/airsoft/pr...roducts_id=379

Note, does anyone know if lipos converted to deans will still be able to be connected to this charger?

Thanks

I dunno 'bout batteries, but avoid the Dboys' Crane stock; I got one for $15 from eHobby, but it turns out it's just for looks. The battery storage tubes don't actually open up.

Don't lipos charge through the special input jack? It wouldn't matter what gun connector you had on it...

You could always get a front handgrip that can accomidate a battery if you want a certain stock that cant hold a battery

Sorry, you're correct, I overlooked that.

Don't get a LiPo if your not 100% comfortable with it, there's alot of reading involved.
G&P crane stocks are great, their 8.4v 2200mah batteries are fantastic. But solder a new deans connector on yourself, 7/10 batteries I've seen have had cold solders on the connectors.
But 2200mah will last you around 30 68-round mags or so
Biggest Lipo you can get in a buffer tube is pretty small, under 1500mah I think, then you need a protection board as well, 100$ charger, 20$ lipo charging sack

Thanks for the advice man! With my gun wired out of the buffer tube with deans, I guess it would be possible to get a g&p crane stock with battery.

something like this? http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=18666

I'm just concerned that this battery won't last for a whole day of playing.

30 mags is PLENTY good for a scrim
And if you need more you could always buy a second battery
