More mAH= more ROF?

[GhostDivisionAirsoft]

Recieved a new gun today and was just checking it worked with some batteries i had about, and it seemed that the 2500mAH 8.4v increased the gun's ROF by about 30% compared to the 1500mAh 8.4v i first tried in it. Just out of intrest really, does the mAH of the battery actually affect ROF, or could it just be the fact that perhaps the batteries have different levels of charge or some other factor?

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

some guns it does mate,

the more mAh the battery has the more power it can deliver in one hit to be fair

lipos deliver the power constant after a peak burst on first few shots

a 9.6 3300 will be even faster then your 8.4

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

A 9.6v will be faster than an 8.4v, its got more juice to deliver so to speak.
It's all down to discharge rates.
I've got a 9.6 1300mah that's fast than my 9.6v 3300mah. The smaller of the 2 surprisingly has the higher discharge rate.

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

the mah is only related to how long it takes to discharge the battery
the voltage determines rof
the peak discharge current also dictates rof but afaik that isnt mentioned much on the batteries themselves except lipo

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

Peak discharge current is also known as discharge rate(or peak discharge rate in some fields).

How did you calculate it was about 30% quicker?

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

More guesswork than calculation, i might boot up audacity and see the difference.

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

I'd wondered if you used a chrono or similar..

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

Any difference will be down to the quality of the battery and how well they were charged.

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

In terms of airsoft batteries have 3 ratings.

A Voltage, Ah, and C rating.

Even Nimh batteries have a C rating, like LiPos, they're just not listed most of the time.

Basically the higher that amperage a battery can supply, the better. Your gun will only draw so much, so if you go way over then it won't make a difference, but up to the amount your gun is drawing you will see an increase.
To find amperage you take Ah and multiply it by C rating. (or mAh x C / 1000)

Voltage will also increase rof, and continue to do so the higher you go.

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

C rating is also known as peak discharge rate.

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

could just be that the new battery has a tighter fit to your battery connector

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

be careful about using a 9.6 battery. depending on the gun youve bought it could easily mess the internals up. My old AK hated a 9.6 and hit the fan everytime i used it

Re: More mAH= more ROF?

Isn't voltage determined as an average throughout the discharge of the battery? Therefore a higher capacity battery has a slightly higher starting voltage. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Voltage is the potential difference between two points
