Help!! My m4 is chewing through batteries!!

[jamiesankey1988]

My m4 gets through so many batteries. I use 11.1v lipos and today got through 6. Is there a reason behind this? It's not like I have my finger in full auto all day!

It's the classic army m4 and it's all standard.

What sort of rates do you get on a standard 8.4v or 7.4v lipo? And are you using a fuse?

Yes I'm using a fuze and I've never used anything less as wanted a high fire rate.

Are you a high cap assault player?

What Mah are you're batteries?
Do you have a decent balance charger?
Is there a possibility you over drained them previously or regularly?

Stick a volt meter on your motor terminals and fire the gun you will see what draw is being used, it will be either your batteries are no good or your gun is not very efficient and needs too much battery to work.

The funny thing is I had the exact same gun before and it did the same issue. Think its time to buy a new one lol
