how long do lipos last

[Crude Skinny B]

hi, im thinking of taking the lipo route and just wondering how long lipos last compared to say nimh batteries?

i see alot of low mah lipos compared to nimh, just wondering whats best to get lipo wise?
I currently tend to use a 9.6 mini and that just about makes the day.
I probably fire around 5000+ rounds per day at an event.

Thanks

There is a lot of variables, but with a swap at lunchtime you'll be fine with most.

The cost of lipo's is pretty cheap, I have two 1900mah 7.4v 25C batteries, which I swap over at lunch - does a whole day easily!

I use 7.4v lipo's both 1200 mAh and 2200 mAh both last all day, thats with auto and semi use

even a few weeks later to test the gun they still fine to use

U will probably want the same setup as jagillham based on the no of rounds u get through.

I use one 7.4v 2100mah which lasts me over a days skirmish, but I don't use full auto very often (2,000 rounds a day prob). I do carry a backup tho just in case!
