When entering the air gun, it is difficult to choose the correct air gun battery, whether it is NIMH/Lipo/Life/Li-lon, and then which format battery your air gun needs.
Battery chemistry
When choosing a battery, you will notice that there are three common types of airsoft batteries: NIMH, LiPo, and Li-Ion-although other batteries are outdated.
NiMH
NIMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) is an excellent starting battery, which is composed of batteries with a nominal voltage of 1.2v per cell, usually built-in 8 or 9 battery packs, producing 8.4v and 9.6v.
For people who are just starting the sport, these are known for their reliability and low maintenance, the most common being the free battery on the starter package.
advantage:
Safety
reliable
Smaller voltage increment
Easy to maintain
shortcoming:
bulky
Heavy
Inefficient
Storage may be affected by temperature changes, and they can be found to run out more quickly on cold days.
LiPO (lithium ion polymer) is probably the most commonly used battery in air guns. This is not only due to performance, but also due to size.
Lipos are generally smaller and thinner than NIMH cells, allowing them to fit into smaller spaces. That is, inventory with limited inventory control and space. Although they are common, they also have disadvantages:
Ordinary air gun Lipo bag size 7.4V and 11.1V
advantage:
Flat and compact battery design
High discharge rate
Not affected by cold weather
High capacity size ratio
shortcoming:
Need to balance charger
Need to be extra careful when charging
If they are flat, they cannot be safely charged
When using LIPO batteries, please follow any safety instructions and do not leave them unattended.
Lithium-ion (lithium-ion) is one of the latest versions of air gun batteries that have entered the market in the past year or two. Although it is very similar to LIPO, there are some differences.
From their point of view, they look very similar to NIMH batteries in size and shape, but their maintenance and performance are quite different.
Ordinary air gun lithium-ion battery pack size 7.4V and 11.1V
advantage:
No memory effect
Compared with Lipo and NIMH, the capacity (MAH) is higher
high efficiency
Durable
shortcoming:
Combustible
The current price is higher than NIMH and Lipo, but in the past two years, the price has dropped by about 60%
More bulky than Lipo size, more difficult to fit some AEGS
Battery tolerance
What is the MAH rating of the air gun battery? It’s simple, how long does it basically last compared to another. Typical air gun batteries range from 800 Malay water to 4000 Malay water, some up to 7000 Maleic Anhydride+
Despite this, there is no exact calculation of how long your battery will last (because it needs to consider how much your airgun consumes, and there are few that are exactly the same)
The more you upgrade your AEG, the greater the chance it will occupy the battery due to the greater the pressure. The power of the stronger spring used to cycle the spray gun will increase the tension on the motor, causing it to use higher current consumption on the battery.
In addition to other factors such as the motor starting current, if you use a single start, your motor will use higher power consumption to start the motor than when it is fully automatic.
