batteries for G&P

derzwerge · July 1st, 2010, 18:15

hello guys!
I will get in a few days an G&P xm177e1.it has a version 2 GB,and I heard that sometimes the G&P pistons breaks up.cuz that,I wont take a risk putting a wrong-too powerful batterie.
as you all know the foregrip is narrow and theres no room with comon type ones . so I will get customs made. I have two available options. 8.4v 1000mah and 8.4v 1500mah.

Im seriously thinking in swap my KWA m4 Gearbox for the one on the G&Pxm177.
but anyway I will need to get it working.

what batterie will you recomend me for the G&P xm177e1? and if the second option with 1500MAH will work?

thanks in advance

Get the battery with the most mAh you can.

The G&P pistons shattering has nothing to do with the battery as it is the spring that determines how much energy is released. The stock G&P pistons will eventually break regardless.

A higher voltage battery only dictates how fast the piston is pulled back.(spring being compressed) Once the spring is compressed with say an 8.4v, it releases the same amount of energy a 9.6v will.

Now a higher voltage battery will cause you to cycle faster/more (higher ROF) so in that sense, it will shorten the piston life somewhat.
