Would 8.4V 3600mAh or 4200mAh battery be considered "pushing it" for a stock gun?

Kos-Mos · December 11th, 2007, 20:39

actually GP is about the same or higher quality than Intellect. Their 4100mAh packs are about equal to Intellect 4200mAh packs... (from a racing point of view... used both in an Ofna Z10 pro with some high grip foam tires.... talking about run times)

Oh, I wasn't aware GP had 4100mah packs, but if you saw it would would agree, the battery itself has fallen into a state of disrepair lol
Good to know, That GP 3000 is about 3 years old, still holds 3000mah

Alright, it's been a while but I finally tested all 3 so heres the results:
Intellect 8.4v 3600mah = 940rpm
intellect 7.2v 4200mah = 860rpm
intellect 8.4v 4200mah = 1020rpm
Although not exact, the rpm is very close to what it actually is, the 8.4 3600 and 7.2 4200 having an inaudible difference in rpm, but a very noticeable difference switching from the 8.4 4200 to the 7.2 4200.

So, lower voltage seems to equal lower ROF.

I seem to recall saying something like that awhile back.

Feel free to say "I told you so", but the 8.4 4200 still has a higher rate of fire than the 8.4 3600...

I think you can chalk that up to the ability of the 4200mah battery to sustain rated voltage better than the 3600mah with your load. In a stock Marui for example, I don't think you'd see much if any difference between the 2 until they start to become depleted. A bigger spring load would make this effect show up better.

Well theres only one way to find out lol
I'll need to find a stock TM gun and test its ROF with the different batteries.

off topic i know. but would a bb bastard charger be able to charge a 8.4v 3600 mAh battery?
