Battery Question

[Xevious]

Currently I have my eye on an ICS M4 C15 (fixed stock) - I know the battery goes in the stock, but will there be enough room to fit an 8 cell 9.6v in there, or has the stock only got enough space for a 7 cell 8.4v?

I'd like to run the larger batter, but I really hate having to have external batteries (currently the situation with my beta spetz)

Cheers

Re: Battery Question

If you must use 9.6v batteries you can get "medium" ones made from 2200mah cells which are as long as 8.4v large batteries.
A shop which sells components used to sell them as a ready made pack but they only have those cells in crane a stock config (which you could just tape together) or you could email them and ask them to make up a battery in a standard battery lay out.

Ok cool, I might end up just going for a standard 8.4v then, that sounds like hassle and I like convienience

Cheers for the advice though.

Re: Battery Question

The above poster mentioned the shop of components. Well on their site they have measurements for batteries when you click on 'more info'

Try measuring the inner width and length of your stock and consulting their site for info on the battery your after

Haven't bought it yet Trying to gather info to find out what I need to order rather than having to get it all in seperate bits.

Re: Battery Question

if you're ordering from the place that sells components shop you should pick up some deans connectors as well

Re: Battery Question

Re: Battery Question

well, it looks like the same sized stock as my CA M15A1 and my M15A4 Tact carbine, and they both swallow up a large 9.6v 3700 with room to spare!
