Batteries question for M4

SilverVice · May 26th, 2006, 10:21

Hello I just bought a TM M4 S-System and I just realize I need batteries for it.

I want to know if some of you guys have tried those one "Ebay batteries" too good to be true?

Thanks

If you have already spent the money for the gun my best sugjestion is to go to a hobby shop or your local airsoft shop and buy a brand new battery. The thing with batterys is that they only have so many times that can be charged and still hold a charge long enough for a day game.

Just my 2cents, hope it helps

I have a extra G&P 8.4v 1100mAh mini Ni-MH kicking around. I can sell that to you for $35. PM me if you are interested.

You get what you pay for, I have some of the ebay battery packs and one of my house mates whos an R/C car racer (having good batteries is far more important to them than it is to us) and he checked em out on his charger and voltmeter and told me they are garbage.

I also tend to avoid those black wrapped ones with yellow labels at that onlybatterypacks place seems to carry most of, they are NiCD's and aernt often the max mah for the cell size.

Just ordered myself a 2000mah 9.6V pack for my crane stock from http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com and it cost me about $50 but I know I'm getting brand name high quality cells with the max mah for my cell size (4/5A in my case). Cheap packs be as low as 1.15V/cell so an 8 cell pack would be 9.2V instead of 9.6V.

Higher mah (miliamp hours) raises your rate of fire, as does higher voltage. I wonder if I should try out the new 4300mah cells in a large battery for my new CA M41 once it comes in...
