Am I having deja vu? Didn't you post this video before? My number #1 rule for Lipo and not ever having experience any issue that weren't cause by my doing is " NEVER CHARGE UNATTENDED "
safety first.
can never know with the cheap and even knock off chatgers out there
Never put a lipo battery on water if its on fire, it only burn more. Sand or co2 are the only things effective on a lipo fire

Further tip if you are a bit of a worrier. As well as using a lipo back, take the whole bundle (charger battery in bag etc) and pop it onto a large dinner plate. It’s just another layer of protection to help keep things under more control if they go wrong. A large dinner plate is my choice because one it means that you 100% have anything that could get hot or firery on something that won’t go up in flames itself if there’s a failure thus hopefully slowing any spread allowing you more time to react and complete your safety procedure. Fortunately never had to do so but it’s a nice extra layer of safety to keep you chill if your like me and have thoughts like “but what if the lipo bag fails ?”
Thanks for this in-depth video! Although I know a lot already, sometimes I find out the hard way myself.. I feel like this is an underlooked thing at Airsoft and it throws new players into the deep.
I experienced a Lipo catching fire once while chronoing inside my house, suddenly I heard a siss and smoke came out of the back of the stock... followed by a flame... Thankfully I kept a cool mind and brought the replica into my tiled bathroom and then slammed out the fire with a towel. It was quite costly to replace all the damaged internals though but at least my home didn't have any damage!
One thing I still struggle with is finding out the correct charge rate.. for some reason it is never included in the manuals that come with the batteries...
I would love a video on that.
This is such a good video. Even though my airsoft gun uses the (8.4) NiMH battery, I still got a lot of good information out of this. Like the fact that the battery that my cheap airsoft gun came with only had 650 mAh only gave me much more reason to buy a much better one, with a fancy charger to keep it in check. Thanks 👍
I think you should add Li-ion batteries to the guide, sure they have lower discharge rates in comparison (and are a little bit heavier), but Li-ion batteries have a higher energy density, lower self-discharge rate, longer cycle life and are sooooo much reliable and safer than LiPo batteries. A little accident, like denting a Lipo could lead to fire and considering a sport so brutal like airsoft I would recommend Li-ion except you really want that higher discharge rate.
Agreed. I'm running an 11.1v 3000mAh 35a peak Valken nunchuck and honestly I love it. 800+ BBs through the gun and still 90% charged. Can't beat it. I won't have to carry around extra batteries like everyone else but also need the stock extended due to the size of it. It's a trade-off I'm willing to live with. My Specna Edge 2.0 has a mosfet also so why bother with LiPo anymore? I think Li Ion is the way.
They have a slightly higher energy capacity, self discharge is about the same. Li-ion cells can literally explode if they have a catastrophic failure because their outer casing can trap the gas buildup. Li-po cells will vent the gas buildup and combust, not explode if there's a catastrophic failure. You can also get li-po's with a reinforced exterior so they're more durable. They also can take more abuse than many think. I've made big dents in some of my li-po's and it hasn't even affected the performance.
Even Titan Power, a major advocate for li-ion batteries have started selling li-po batteries.
@hakont.4960 li-ion batteries have a security valve just in case the internal pressure rises, so they don't explode and release the pressure just like the lipo batteries, but they are harder to pierce/deform
@@hakont.4960 I mean, there is a reason why shops sell the bag for charging/storage lipo and not for Li-ion
Thanks for these comments; just got my kids (not little) aresoft and already had 3 batteries fail 😢 I run Lithium ion in all my tools and abuse the hell out of them with no failures. Was wondering why...
Hey there. If you or one of your buddys has some soldering skills, go and build yourself a few adapters in every combination possible. I even build one with Wago quick connect clamps so you can fix it on a go even if someone rips out their connector.
You can safe someones day.
Quick question. In this video you said to submerge the lipos in water if they catch fire, but in another you said to NEVER have them in contact with water, even in the instance of fire, as they might explode.
What is a microprocessor? I see that it's written under many airsoft LiPo batteries that they should be charged with a microprocessor charger with a balancer.
I use Anderson connectors for my ebike, these are quite reliable, I would possibly consider doing a build with one of those if I want to make my own battery.
I refuse to switch to LiPo because it doesn't work with my GBBRs 😄
But kidding aside, some of the airsoft guns make me nervous, storing lipos in the handguard which is full of m-lok holes doesn't seem safe to me. What if a BB makes it's way into it and hits the battery directly, could that ignite it?
Maybe a sniper round could
@sogerc1 the lipos should usually be elsewhere in a mlok m4, usually the stock
Even if the lipo were hit, which is quite rare, it'll be fine so long as it isn't shot with anything too strong
So, for the Scarlet-47, would a 2000mAh butterfly 11.1v 20c lipo battery with deans and short wire fit?
Also for battery life, don't charge to 100% and try not to discharge below 40%.
While this is true, i never recommend doing these charge limiting things. Charging to only 80% is better for the battery life in the long run but you will basically be using a battery with a reduced capacity from the start. If you play every weekend and always charge to 100% the evening before game day your lipo should easily last you a good 2 years or more, after that the battery will have a reduced total capacity but will still work fine. Basically don’t use your new battery as if it is already worn down just to get a half years extra use with capacity that you don’t actually use because you never charge to full… Lipo’s aren’t that expensive to replace after 2-3 years. Just make sure to store them nice and balanced at room temperatures and at storage voltage.
Trying to figure out if i can upgrade to li-ion for my nebula v2 but I read online that they usually arent interchangeable. Also not seeing anything with the appropriate dimensions I have approximately 5" depth, 1" width with the stock in its farthest foward position.
Why not use xt30 connectors, more secure connection than a deans/t plug. Sorry just getting in to airsoft. Im a transplant from the rc world.
Re-upload ??
How many hours does it usually take to charge an 11.1V 1400mah 30C lipo battery using B3 20W compact charger?
Are there instances that the red light indicator on a B3 charger would not change to green light when the battery is already fully charged?
Thank u sir....
Can somebody tell me which is snappier a 7.4v LiPo or a 9.6v NiMh ?!
Go Lithium Ion, they last for years and don't need charging nealy as often as Lithium Polymer.
How much amps draw from the gearbox? Technical talk must use the data
Ive used my battery like 3 times and now it only charges to like 10% i can get like 10 shots before it dies idk what happened
I'm only guessing its suicide to use a rc car lipo charger for a airsoft battery?
A LiPo charger is a charger no matter the hobby, what you should check is the maximum amperage of the charger with the amperage of the battery, but my guess is that it's OK.
@@weplooxgaming awesome
the only thing between me and airsoft is the lack of batteries on eu novritsch
Thoughts on Li-ions?
Li-ion batteries have higher energy density, lower self-discharge rate, longer cycle life and are waaaaay safer than LiPo. In my opinion Li-Ion it's just better than LiPo and everyone should go that way.
@@weplooxgaming agreed. There's a reason they're made out of the same 18650 batteries that vapes use.
@@weplooxgaming I completely agree, I was wondering why it was left out of the video.
@dmoose7066 Same, my guess is they don't sell Li-ions yet, but they are selling LiPos
@xgaming Way too low performance for many applications. Why do you think they're almost never used for RC?
Is it possible to run a replica on a Milwaukee 12v battery? I am generally very conservative with my trigger finger. I have a Lancer Tactical Gen 3 rifle. I use 3 round burst instead of full auto.
I might be late with the answer, but don't. Airsoft batteries are made specifically for airsoft, and guns are made to handle airsoft batteries. Don't cheap out on it, get a good 11.1 LiPo, around 1000mAh should be fine
@@brightwolf_hun1848 1) tool batteries are not cheap. 2) they are the same li-ion cells used for airsoft or RC. All batteries show higher voltage when fully charged. I put my volt meter on my 11.1 lipo and it showed 12.6. My M12 showed 12.2
@brightwolf_hun1848 cheap out? A 12v milwaukee battery costs way more than an 11.1 lipo and I have an airsoft replica that has been converted to take 12v batteries and it runs fine
@@JMyers1990 Cheap out was probably a wrong way to word it, english is not my first. And I also don't know Milwaukee batteries. What I meant is that if your replica isn't specifically made or cobverted for 12V, it's best to stay with traditional airsoft batteries made for specifically this purpose.
I already have 12v batteries for my tools. Also, I took a bolt meter to both and they are the same in every way. I have been running a tool battery in my gun for months.
where the 8.4 love
How long should you charge your battery’s 11.1
what about the 8.4v?
Is it true that a higher mah can damage your motor?
For my gun i should not use a 2000mah lipo because i need a new motor in like 1 year.
Mah is like the entire amount of juice in the bottle. The c number is the important one for the question you asked.
My battery short circuited it was so annoying
Lithium burns on contact with water......
I dont see any ,,C" on NiMh batteries, is that normal? and could anyone please tell me what the average ,,C" is for a NiMh battery
@Pyro4lol There's non on those, only lithium polymer.
y'all think a 35c 7.4 will kill my dsg
No. 7.4 is the lowest power battery possible in airsoft and 35c is just the peak rating for discharge. Don't worry about the 35c. 7.4 is fine. You have to worry if you're running 11.1v without a mosfet.
