Re: Battery Life

that will easily last all day

even with my old 1100mah 8.4v batteries i would get a whole day out of them - minimum 1500 rounds

Re: Battery Life

Yeah, that'll last 4 hours no problem


I'd say 3000 rounds +

Re: Battery Life

As Shadow says, should last the day I have VP1400 8.4 and it lasts me all day, as long as your not heavy on the trigger. However I always take at least one spare, as I have seen a few people go home early after their battery died, they do say that you should get at least 1 shot per mAh

Re: Battery Life

well its going to depend how you skirmish
single shot - full auto spray - short bursts
weather
how well its charge

but you should never need more than 2 batteries if your site has charging facilities

i always carry a spare usually in a spare rifle

Re: Battery Life

I used to find a 1100 would not do it, but a 2200mah was fine.

If you got the room, just buy a bigger battery. A 3600mah 8.4v large is £20 delivered. That will definitely last all day, and probably cover a weekender!

Re: Battery Life

all depends on your game play among other things.

Re: Battery Life

Just echoing what the others have said really. That should last you all day, I can get by using a 1400mAh in my 249 in a 6hr game, so...
However, it's always worth having a spare
