is ICS SIG 552 COMMANDO lipo ready!!!

[UKR G36C]

i just bought me a sig 552 and found that it comes with the battery and rail mounted battery box that has the wires sticking out, which is annoying. so i decided to go with a lipo but heard that they can destroy your gearbox and require a whole crap load of maintenance and needed some help

Short Answer is no.
Highly doubt it is "lipo" ready no gun is lipo ready, the only thing it really means is that it will last a long time without loosing much durability, there is much to do so that a gun can be "lipo" ready, you need a good quality piston, high speed gears which require cutting an amount of teeth,

I dont know what gearbox is uses but I've had a fairly good amount of experience of Ver.2 Gearboxes so I know what it requires for a 11.1V lipo battery to run smoothly without destroying the gearbox within one magazine. My KA m4 CQB has been running 11.1v lipo for about 2 years already and its still running strong other than a loose selector switch but other than that the gun still sounds amazing best option is to get a Gun doc to look at the gearbox and check it out
