Battery options for ICS SIG 552

[Ratters]

Hi, picked up a Sig and I need a battery...8.4v supplied won't fit in the hand guard or the microscopic batt. box that came with it.

I need a lipo pack or peq. I don't want 11.1v. 'cuz I feel well placed shots win over rate of fire. My personal choice is a 9.6v@2700mah LiPo for the hand guard or a nicd in a peq.

Allowable dimensions for a LiPo in the handguard are:

L 132mm, W 21mm, H 16mm.

I'm in Vancouver and would like to know if anyone out there knows of someone local who has for sale a peq w/batt. (9.6v w/decent mah) or someone who can make a custom LiPo for the hand guard.

Cheers,
Ratters

Lipos only come in 3.7v denominations.

So your best bet would be a 7.4v lipo, and it won't be 2700mAh because that would be too big.

Oh No! not this again!

This battery and PEQ box will work perfectly for the SIG-552

Send me an email for cost and pricing, or have the dealer you purchased it from give us a shout, and we'll hook them up with what you need.

I use a MARK III in my SIG 552 to set the ROF and find 11.1v fine to use. At least with a M110 spring this set up is holding fine. Oh and as far as I'm concerned a PEQ is just a way to make your gun unbalanced, the fancy way is the grenade launcher

All in all I have to say that DonP can hook you up with that MARK III and its a life saver on all your components, nearly a must for lipo if you want peace of mind.

ok, I declare this thread officially dead. I had forgotten that this issue was already discussed at length earlier. My appologies.
Those who viewed and responded , I respect and appreciate your tolerance.

I will be picking up a 9.6 and a peq tomorrow and perhaps doing the Mark III trigger master route next.
and remember kids "it's all fun and games 'till someone starts tweaking off Jib"

for sig 552, u either need a custome battery, or "something" else... <-- not sure if i'm allow to unveal it, but there are something else that will make everyone life easier...haha just wait and see

Today I went to my local surplus depot and picked up a single pistol mag pouch. I removed the LEFT side rail and used it to hold the pouch as a batt. bag.

The pouch sits flush and does not flop around.

Run the wires through the other hanger strap (between the rail and bag) so a lucky shot doesn't take out your fuse holder!:rrr:

This is an inexpensive solution to using less volatile and less destructive,
9.6v NiMH packs.

Of course a LiPo with a MOSFET III makes me drool, that doesn't change the fact that cash is tight and I want TO PLAY!!! AARRGGGHHH!!!! KILL, KILL, KILL!!!

sorry..., time for my medication :roll:

I was then able to mount a $20.00 telescopic bi-pod to the lower rail and still have room for my hand placement on the foregrip without having to use a vertical tac grip.

OK pictures and description or it doesn't exist. And Lipo doesn't count. :P

[Ratters]

Understood Brother, As soon as I get some time I'll take some picks.
But first I'll go back to scouring the paint off my latest find...gotta love painted guns!

[Schlyder]

that was for bujitjit to post more info on his "secret" battery. LOL

[Ratters]

I'll let you in on a little secret. It's for all you Goons ( including yours truly )that love SigArms and are considering an ICS version but are hesitant 'cuz of the mags.

A couple days ago I picked up a TM Sig Commando. It was supposed to be upgraded with fancy this and fancy that but it wasn't ( I won't go into it ).
Anyhow it came with a slew of 43 round fake bullet mags. Initially I offered it up to the ics magwell and it seemed tight so I accepted defeat.

Today I said to myself "I'm not gonna be beat by no ****ing toy gun" and I applied a bit more elbow grease and......Ha! Psyche!

All kidding aside, YES, they worked. Three of the bunch were stubborn so I applied some silicone oil (heavier, not spray but spray will work) to the BB retainer at the top of the mag. Loaded about 5 rounds in each mag, fired 'em all and no misery.

Try it out(gently at first) ICS is a virgin to these mags you know!

Now wipe the sweat from your brow and rejoice!

inomini patri, spiritos sancte. Praise the nailed up one!!!
BooYaa!
