What battery to choose

[joakley]

hi i purchased a king arms colt m4a1 fully metal, wondering what type of battery to use. King arms website says "Intellect 1700mAh 9.6V Twin Type" but ive read 9.6 v is too much? i need help and guidance.
thanks.

I run a 1400 and a 1500 9,6V on my G@G M4.
They both work great and are well in the limit of the gearbox.

9.6V is fine

7.4v lipo or 9.6v mini
read the battery thread in the noob section if you have any battery related questions

if you understand how to charge and prevent over discharge a lipo, go for the lipo.
if not, 9.6v or 8.4v NiMH, one that can fit into your gun.
if a gun can handle 8.4v, then 9.6v is fine. 7.4v lipo will also be fine.

I would say better with a 9.6V

If your motor has torque, the 7.4V is going to be sluggish and won't be as snappy as a 9.6V
