i assume the one in this video is 7.4volt capacity right? because it's 2 cells

[SOCOMGEAR]

You are right. Sorry. Our fault.

[Peter421]

I got one of these lipos for free and did not know how to use it properly. Used it in my airsoft rifle fine but tried it on an rc car and pulled too much power out. Glad it didn't do anything but swell up one cell just a little bit. Thanks socom gear I guess lol

since ppl seem to know wat they talkin bout here, i gotta ask about my nicd battery that got overcharged by about 20 minutes, it charges rly slow so i fugured that time wouldnt of done any damage, but now its not working, if i cant get it to work, how can i discharge it?

Hey man idk what type of battery my airsoft has is called. And idk the mah, and the ROF. but my gun is crosman r73 please tell me the type of battery it contains

[waffeinfinland]

@werdo141 i've also got a NiMH battery and always after i fully charge it for about 5 - 5.5 hours (norm charger) it shoots again at the gun's normal ROF.

in NiCd batteries the ROF stays about the same, charged or almost dead but in NiMH the ROF slowly decreases then after its charged it will shoot better

now when i think about it, the battery may not be damaged at all, becouse chargers with a fast charge option are usually automatic, so there may be no damage at all.

@waffeinfinland ok the battery had just started to wear down a little, so i wanted to put it in the charger for an hour, but i left it on all night. it was not fully discharged. my battery is a 8.4v 1100mah ni-mh battery. the rate of fire increase about 25 % (not that much) and this is not the first time i have charged my battery (i am not sure if i have ever charged it fully i have been using the fast charge option on the battery witch is 2-2 and a half hours

[waffeinfinland]

@werdo141 ok. you've probably overcharged your battery (suprise :P) and the lifespan of the battery may weaken due to that, but i can't figure out how it can effect the ROF so much.. please tell me:

- the mAh of your battery (should be written on the battery, about 600 mAh is norm for stick type) and if it was empty when you started charging it

- if is it NiCd or NiMH?

- how huge was the difference of the ROF? like 50%+ or like 100%+?

- was this the first time you fully charged your battery? :P

[werdo141]

@waffeinfinland its the standard charger the battery comes with

[waffeinfinland]

@werdo141 do you have an automatic charger?

[werdo141]

I NEED HELP I WAS SUPPOSED TO CHARGE MY AIRSOFT GUN 8.4V BATTERY (STICK TYPE) FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND I ACCIDENTALY CHARGED IT OVERNIGHT BECAUSE I FORGOT. I TOOK IT OUTSIDE AND IMMEDIATELY HOOKED IT ONTO MY GUN AND I FIRED IT ON FULL AUTO AND IT HAD A HUGE ROF INCREASE BUT IT DOESNT USUALLY SHOOT THAT FAST SO IS IT A PROBLEM?
