Best G36c battery??

[whitefang]

As the title says, what's the best ( most powerful ) battery I can get for my TM G36c as it has a dinky battery compartment but I don't want to really add anything to it! Just want the best it can take in the current battery compartment!

Re: Best G36c battery??

hey

i have a SRC G36C and i use a 9.6V 1500mah RC Vapextech battery and that gives me a bit over 950 rounds per minuet. if the Tm's are anything like the src which they should you wont be able to fit much more than that in.

hope that helps

Re: Best G36c battery??

best bet would be to go lipo, measure what you can fit in there, then find a suitable lipo

Re: Best G36c battery??

7.4v Li-Po would probably be the "best" battery, with some up to 2200mAh capacity that would fit a standard 8.4v space. I've typically found that a good 25C+ discharge Li-Po gives performance comparible to 9.6v, and sometimes slightly beyond.

For dimensions reference you are looking at 107 x 34 x 17.1 mm (L x W x D) for a normal 8.4v NiMh battery at 1500mAh.
For a good Turnigy Li-Po (2200mah 7.4c) you are looking at 105 x 34 x 16mm. Possibly a little big considering they dont have rounded edges, so I find the 1600mAh Li-Po's to be a safe bet. They give more power and last longer

Hi there buddy!
I have an SRC G36c. I also have a customised handguard (I think it might be Ares?) with a space big enough for a very large 3300mAh battery!

However, if you need small, I use an 8.4v mini tamiya Single Cell battery which is smaller than an M9 magazine! it's about 10cm long, 2cm wide and high. and have 2800mAh!


I can fit 2 of these batteries in my large handguard! ...just!

Forgot. Also made in Japan with very good QC.

Re: Best G36c battery??

If going down the Lipo route this will be hard to beat....

7.4V 2200mAh 25C+ continuous discharge
Pretty much the most power that you can fit in the space of the
standard 8.4V mini battery!

55A continuous, 110A burst
101.1 x 35.5 x 16.1mm weight 115g.

Special price - Just £15.00 each

I don't really know much about lipo's tbh!! But that mini tamiya looks very cool!! I currently have a 1500 mAh 9.6v in there which is ok but I just fancy something with a bit more guts if it's possible!!

7.4v 2250mah 25c Lipo form the shop of components, fits the battery space like a glove and then you can put the lipo alarm into the top part of the foregrip.

I use turnigy 7.4v 2200mah 25c lipos in my g36c and they fit snugly. No rattling around and masses of juice to keep you going for the day. Even if you get trigger happy.

Re: Best G36c battery??

But dont 9.6v batss give higher rof than 7.4v's?

[jagillham]

Re: Best G36c battery??

Depends on the specs of each. Bearing in mind only can get a mini pack in there, not going to be a very good one.

Re: Best G36c battery??

But dont 9.6v batss give higher rof than 7.4v's?

Only if they're the same type of battery.

A 7.4v lipo battery is roughly the same as a 9.6v "bog standard" airsoft battery pack, I think.

I think a 9.6v lipo battery... more revolutions in a minute than a hula girl has in her entire lifetime.

Re: Best G36c battery??

Not entirely true, a 7.4 lipo is just the rating on it's volts, there are many different types of 7.4, in various different capacities, and various different discharge rates.

I've done the whole nimh range to death, sizes and capacity, brand and price range, lipo's are now much cheaper, and comparing them with a lipo, a similar sized lipo will last you much much longer, and give a better trigger response and rate of fire.

If you're not getting a good rof with that batt then i'd suggest doing some internal upgrades as a 9.6v 1500 should be powerfull enough.

Re: Best G36c battery??

Again though, if it's a cheapsoft 9.6, bin it... Or if it's eons old, again, cells are tired now...

What I'd do? Nip down to your local site, ask someone if you can try out one of their lipo's on the range, I often lend one or two out, convert the masses one at a time! Lol

If the difference is worth it, go for it! If not, get a big rucksack, a car battery, some wire and let rip!
