Are LiPo batteries good for airsoft?

Most airsoft guns can handle a 7.4v LiPo battery without any problems. If you’re using an 11.1v LiPo battery, though, you’ll need to make sure that your gun can handle it. You can also look for a “LiPo Ready” gun, which just means that the manufacturer has installed a MOSFET already so you don’t need to worry about it.

How long does a 7.4 V LiPo battery last?

The RC LiPo battery can last for about two to four years without usage. However, it will last for about thirty minutes on a full charge.

What should a 7.4 V LiPo charge to?

Your charger also says “2S (7.4 V)” so that’s OK. The Current setting might be a bit high. I would take that down to 2 or 3 A especially if you can accept the longer charging time. Charging / discharging cells with high currents decreases their lifetime so if you can, take it slow, use a lower current.

Can I use LiPo batteries instead of NiMh Airsoft?

LiPo batteries are newer and a big advantage to the sport of Airsoft. They are significantly lighter and smaller than the NiMh batteries. A 7.4v LiPo would have the same performance as a 8.4v NiMh. You do not need to cycle a new LiPo battery and it will not lose it’s memory cell.

Can I use 11.1 V battery instead of 7.4 V airsoft?

These batteries come in two common flavors, 7.4v and 11.1v. 7.4v is perfectly safe for stock guns to use, but we suggest you do some research before using an 11.1v. These batteries also come in 14.8v, which some people use. Higher than that has little to no use in airsoft.

Is it OK to leave the battery in an airsoft gun?

If you want to keep the battery in/with the gun, at least unplug it. The short answer is no. There are so many reasons not to do this at there is no point and listing them all. So do not leave it connected inside that is the only answer to this question.

How long does a 7.4 LiPo take to charge?

yes, work for 7.4V 600mAh Li-ion battery, it will take 1-2 hours to charge full,thanks.

What voltage should I charge a 7.4 V battery?

1 Answer. The answer to your question is: 8.4 volts.

What voltage should I charge my 7.4 V battery?

They start with a constant current based on the capacity of the battery, and once they reach 4.2 volts per cell, they switch to constant voltage. So you charger needs to be set for a maximum voltage of 8.4 volts, and the current limit set based on your cell capacity.

Why is LiPo better than NiMH?

The weight/power ratio in LiPo batteries is significantly better. LiPo batteries are noticeably lighter and they can store the same amount or more energy relative to their capacity than NiMH batteries. The power output of LiPo batteries is greater in quality and quantity.

What battery should I use for my airsoft gun?

Li-poly batteries
Li-poly batteries may be the best choice for airsoft guns as long as they feature the right battery pack. The battery style is light and available in various shapes. The most popular battery packs are the 7.4V and the 11.1V.

What is a LiPo battery for airsoft?

Lithium batteries, (LiPO or Li-Ion), are high-discharge batteries designed to be used with upgraded or high-end airsoft guns to drastically increase performance. Because Lithium batteries can discharge at a much faster rate a noticeable reduction from the time you pull the trigger to when a BB is actually fire (called trigger response) is observed.

What are LiPo batteries?

Lithium batteries, (LiPO or Li-Ion), are high-discharge batteries designed to be used with upgraded or high-end airsoft guns to drastically increase performance.

What kind of battery do I need for my airsoft gun?

While not all guns are capable of handling the power of a 11.1v battery, many are able to be upgraded by the Airsoft Station professional airsoft gunsmithing department to handle the stresses of using these batteries! Additionally, Lithium batteries require a special balance charger to properly charge.

What are the advantages of a LiPo battery over NIMH?

Lithium batteries also give the operator the choice to increase the voltage from the typical 9.6v NiMH batteries to an 11.1v LiPO battery and thus increasing rate of fire.
