@zanoosh2629 depends completely on the charger. If you have a really good charger, set the amps for 1C (1 amp per 1000mAh. For this 1600mAh example, set for 1.6 amps) and it is done in under 2 hours. But on the wall charger it comes with, around 6-8 hours.
7.4v for my first airsoft gun, as even though it can handle an 11.1v and has a mosfet, I intend on reducing the amount of physical wear and tear from the faster 11.1v cycle speed until I am educated enough to open the gun up and shim it / replace parts where necessary
100% a great way to go. Reliability is pretty important when you're new, or if you just don't enjoy the wrenching. I personally like to wrench, but I like to have 1 gun I can just rely on constantly, even with an 11.1, being the Krytac shown in the vid. I still haven't had any issues whatsoever with it. I do have a few others though, that I enjoy working on and stressing. Just so when it breaks I can upgrade it 😅
@@K5_RC Incorrect. it's based on how strong your spring is. your piston will almost always pull the same distance, with the difference being the force with which it's slammed back by the spring.
@@denneledoe873 well yeah, but what I was saying in the comment about the BATTERY power making a difference, it doesn't. Because the same power spring is still used between both batteries. So yeah, you are right, but we were talking about batteries, not in general 👍
@pikachu_cz then your solder was better than the factory tamiya solder. The connector doesn't make a difference in anything other than maybe heat and efficiency (considering both connectors are done properly). If you know anything about electricity, you'd understand. Basically, yes, the tamiya connector has more resistance, but that doesn't affect actual power as much as it does how long the charge will last and how hot the electronics get. Voltage is still voltage, and amperage is still amperage. I will record and post me running the same gun on the same battery, but I'll string it with a ton of adapters and do a clip with no adapters. There will be no difference in trigger response or fire rate, but it'll get warmer faster.
I have an older KWA KM4-SR7 with 7.4 1600 mah nunchuck style battery that has swollen up on me and I need a new one. Can my rifle take advantage of an 11.1 lipo? If so, which one would you recommend for my rifle. I’ll spend the money for a quality battery. Thanks
I'd probably stay away from an 11.1 unless upgraded. Older KWAs are good, but unless you have an aftermarket MOSFET/ETU stay with a 7.4. Those guns have a really nice gearset and compression set, so not much would be needed aside from some kind of trigger protection. I'd definitely recommend one of these Titan Power 7.4 3000mAh batteries. No puff, no need to storage charge, super reliable, not affected by temperature as much as a lipo, plus the super long runtime compared to a lipo or nimh. Only thing is li-ion batteries kinda slow down as they lose charge kinda like a nimh but not as bad. Lipos dont slow down until LVC (Low voltage cutoff) , which is another reason you should get some kind of electronic trigger that has LVC to make sure the lipo doesnt destroy itself. You can find these batteries on Amazon and Evike if you want one. Just search: "Titan Power 7.4" and make sure you get the one with your connection (deans or tamiya)
I have a stock g&g scar l. The guns description recommends a 7.4v lipo. Should I stay away from an 11.1v? I ran it on an 11.1v for a day at the field. Assuming its not recommended, will this one time use significantly reduce the lifespan of the gun?
@rover-lj1ih definitely run a 7.4 if you can. And no, it's not likely that you hurt it too much after 1 field day unless you were going crazy with it (like trigger spamming or long bursts of full auto). The gearset and compression set are likely not hurt, but the reason most guns won't take 11.1 is because of the lack of some kind of trigger protection such as a microswitch trigger, MOSFET, or ETU (Electronic Trigger Unit). The G&G Scar doesn't have any of that, so it's likely that your trigger may have taken a little wear, but not likely something to worry about unless you keep going or get abusive. If you can't run a 7.4, just be very nice to it with the 11.1. But even then, it won't last anywhere near as long on 11.1 as it would on 7.4.
@@mikemehevic5292 the Krytac itself is perfect. It can handle any 11.1 without issues unless you try something stupid. I've had 0 issues whatsoever. Trigger is perfect, gears are perfect, motor is perfect. Krytac is the best if you're looking for a reliable primary.
Depends. If it has an ETU (Electronic trigger module) or MOSFET system and a decent gearset, yeah. But if it's just a generic one, no. What brand and model is your AK?
No, not without some modifications. Good gearset and a decent trigger unit or MOSFET are required to run 11.1 batteries reliably. Of course most airsoft guns can take an 11.1 initially, but may not even last 1 or 2 battery charges before something breaks
@@mauka-qx5iv There isn't a whole lot of aftermarket availability for Thompsons, so I'm not sure what specifically would help you get to 11.1 capability. M4s and AKs are the most compatible and have boatloads of upgrades. I'm sure there are upgrades for Tommys, I just don't know any 😉👍
@mauka-qx5iv oh wow that's crazy! What site are you trying to buy from? Lipos are everywhere there in the RC world, and RC lipos are bigger. Check other platforms!
Not likely! It's always a bad idea to use 11.1 batteries on guns without a mosfet or ETU of some kind. Those have regular electronics and triggers, so an 11.1 would cause too much wear on the electronics.
@mikemehevic5292 yeah absolutely. 11.1 is the way to go on a Kraytac. The Trident anyway. The Alpha and the Vector can handle it, but not really designed for it
@mmsuperbucks6753 they are really similar when fully charged, but the 9.6 dies a lot faster and gets slower than the 7.4 really really soon, so the 7.4 is by far better than the 9.6
These Titan Power batteries last around 6000 shots on a charge per battery. Probably around 4000 if only using semi auto. One battery easily lasts a weekend skirmish. 2 can get you through a shorter milsim event if you're light on the trigger!
0:03 7.4 trigger
0:14 9.6 trigger
0:26 11.1 trigger
How long does the 9.6v take to charge fully?

legends say to this day, he STILL hasn't adjusted his motor height and continues to let it grind
It's actually adjusted. Sounds terrible on camera. Plus, Krytac motors are quite screechy anyway

So it only increases the rate of fire but not its distance/power right?
That's right. FPS is completely based on the distance the piston is pulled back, not how fast 👍

Any chance you could run this test with ammo and see the fire rate change?
I could! But there won't be a big difference, if any! If the weather clears up where I am I'll give it a go 👍
for next time use same plugs for all batteries
The plugs don't make any difference at all. And they were all the same except the junky nimh.
@@K5_RC i don't actually agree with you because i resoldered my nimh to dean and the difference was really big

Is it safe for me to just switch from a 9.6 to an 11.1? Nothing I have to worry abt?
@Check_Your_Hopper depends on the gun! As long as it's well equipped, (good gearset and some kind of protected trigger), it should be okay
