See, I'd buy it, but its only 15C, and I personally don't buy 7.4v's if they're 15C.

Okay, I bought a Firefox one that I now know is 15C, but didn't know that originally.

doesnt matter as long as the mah is higher when using a low c rating, this battery will put out a constant 33amp when the average aeg only pulls 16-22amp.

wheras a 800-1100mah with 15c would be pants

Well, just attempted to fit my crane stock 7.4v 1200 and that won't go in.

probably not as there are loads of different sizes availiable, from different manufacturers.
this vp racing 2200 deffo fits perfect, which is great as i dont have to go the crappy peq box route.
to be honest i ordered it for my ics m4, and the larger size higher mah one i wanted was out of stock ,so very lucky really.

this is the hornbill im using not a real steel in case of any misunderstanding

(Mine looks very similar to yours; it has Daniel Defence markings, fitted to a Star)

Yeah, you see I can do that no problem, but it becomes a problem because it gets in the way of the sling loop locking screw.

Could you tell me the dimensions of the battery (one cell) please - the length in particular.

In fact, just seen your battery is 101mm long, compared to mine which is 126. Thanks.

the reason i bought the 101mm version was because its the same length as a mini battery but a smaller overall size so can br used in any gun , wheras the longer crane type im restricted to what i can use it in .

Yeah, and also as you say it's got the bigger capacity. Damn man, wish I had one now in time for sunday. I'll stick to the battery bag with the massive 30C 5200, and see how that goes. I'm only using her for half a day anyway. Got my recoil M4 to use and a Type 89 I fixed as well. Can't wait.
