5:27 You say to unplug the battery if I have a MosFet. But I bought a upgraded handgun set from a webstore and they changed the gearbox, added a MosFet and solded the LiPo battery to the gearbox and I can't take the battery appart. Even changing the dead or blown up LiPo in the future gives me a headache now. I'm freaking out right now how to store the entire gun in a batterybag/box. (This is my first airsoft)
@@FoxAirsoftStore So I just got an Armalite M15, and I've tried charging the battery, there isn't any light indicator that shows that it is charging or not, should I just trust the process and let my nunchuck battery plugged into the battery charger?
Cool video on the LiPo battery all my cords are attached to battery but blue one is sticking out is that a bad thing. The battery still works in gun and all.
I have my eye on the FN Herstal licensed P90 at the moment, and there’s an option to get the LiPo battery as well. It’ll be my first real airsoft gun and I’m on the fence on whether or not I should shell out the extra cash for the extra LiPo battery. Should I go for it?

So airsoft gi says to keep lipo batteries full charged when storing so which one is it u say keep them half charge for storing they say fully charge idk what to do how am I suppose to be good if there's two different responses to the batteries
The key is you don't want to store them with zero charge, or full charge. The healthiest amount of charge for storage is about 30%-50%. Article: brushlesswhoop.com/storing-fully-charged-lipo-batteries/
Do I need a mosfet to run a lipo. I’m going to go airsofting soon and last time I went airsofting I used a 9.6 and I hated my response and I want a quick fix for now. Still planning on getting a mosfet, new trigger, motor, etc.
Me, 5 years behind the curve: *refuses to switch to NiCad's to NiMH's for like 3 years* *refuses to switch from NiMH's to LiPo's for like 3 more years* *refuses to switch to HPA.. still*
Thank you for the information! Is there a negative effect on battery life for NiMh if I do not fully discharge the battery before recharging? Is it bad for battery life to only half charge the battery and use it? (like when I only have 1/2hr charge time) The charging instructions for one of my NiMh said to fully discharge and fully recharge 3-5 times for best battery life. BTW - I absolutely love playing at FAF! Great game scenarios, great maps, great staff!
Honestly good to follow the recommendations however NiMh are more forgiving if you left it with a (less than full) charge. Old technology like NiCads, you had to or else the "memory effect" was more pronounced.
Im thinking on buying the g&g cm16 "predator" for my first gun. It recommends a "9.6v 1600mAh small butterfly type" battery. Is that a good battery? If not,what should i get?
I have a 9.6v Valken NiMh battery, and is it bad if I charge it fully, then put it in a container, use it a little and then put it back in the container. Is that bad for the battery, or should I only charge it fully whenever I’m going to use it fully instead of only for a bit of time and then put it back where i keep it. Love your videos keep up the great work :)
NiMh batteries should be fully charged before use, then stored with charge in them - ideally fully or near-fully charged. They don't have a memory, so don't need to be fully discharged. Just keep it topped off and you should be fine to charge it up before use, or every six months or so in storage.
Hello. I just bought a VFC Avalon Saber CBQ. Evike recommends to use a 9.6 butterfly but in the comments everybody says to use Lipo 7.4 or 11.1 What battery should I use? I live in Miami so weather is hot

Hi there! When you say the gun jams, do you mean the bb's get stuck in the barrel? When we say the gun "cycles", we're referring to the piston completing a shot successfully by moving back and forth once. ? First of all, make sure you're using high quality .20g bb's or heavier. I'd also make sure your charger is an autostop charger. You can tell this by if there is an LED light on the charger that turns a different color when the charge is complete and stops charging the battery. Most chargers shouldn't take more than an hour and a half to charge, but with an autostop charger you don't have to watch the clock. We do ship to CA. Welcome to the airsoft community! - George
@@FoxAirsoftStore yes the pellets gets stuck in barrel, 🔫 sometime 2 or 3. part of me (after 7 hrs of obsessive research) think that the piston may b broken as the bbs dont flush anymore to the hole almost if i have to give more force (so much my jamming rod/cleaner broke in half) for them to drop down the hole. [yes i found the pellets were not high quality but recommended by shop for practice...] n when i take out the mag theres 3 or 6 pellets falling out aside the ones in barrel. there is also talk of this 'hop-up' and it should b turned 'off'. im not sure what this 😅 means as it just scrolls up and down. also theres some push button next to the cock back thing im not sure if its for decoration cause i cant figure out its purpose and instructions r so vague its not even the same gun. i have a smart charger class 2 tenergy. i cant figure that 😕 even as simple as it sounds. the light is red then a very dim green. then when i plug 🔌 it back in..its red again for a good duration!..after it just turned green when looking 👀 up the rifle the reccomendation is a lipo battery 🔋 but even im not sur3?!
@@psuedonym8344 Using high quality bb's is definitely important! .12g bb's are known to cause issues with your airsoft rifle. It's normal for a few bb's to fall out when removing the mag, as they were able to feed from the mag and weren't inside the hop up yet.

Similar performance to Lipos and same rules apply for charging, care, and maintenance. You also get different options for shapes and sizes. Not user friendly for newbies due to volatility.
A nimh battery will work just fine in most AEG's. Some electric guns are referred to as "lipo ready", but this does not mean that the gun only works with Lipo's. Just that the manufacturer thinks the gun will do fine with a higher output battery.
@@TrojanTroy It won't hurt although some MOSFETs do require a higher voltage battery otherwise the gun won't work at all. If you ever move into Lipos be sure to get the correct Lipo charger.

How would you you go about airsofting in snow without messing up gear? I'm sure y'all know but in Colorado we're getting hammered by snow.
Just gotta keep the batteries/electronics dry. You can still play pretty effectively. Airsoft snipers with spring guns don't have this problem :P
hi, are Ni-Mh batteries charged right out of the box or do i need to charge it first? just got one and my gun isn´t shooting
You need to charge first

a 9.6v NIMH battery.
