SoftAir (AEG) Li-PO AKKU/ Batteries to read the number [418] Published:2018-09-18 15:02:58

Li-PO is a relatively new battery type in Airsoft. They offer a high performance rating in a compact size for easier fitment. A Lipo battery can fit into the buffer tube of an M4 style rifle for added realism. 

Lipo batteries are available for airsoft in two voltages, 7.4V and 11.1V, with many different mAh ratings and “C” ratings. 

For a start, the compact size and high power make it a great choice for people not wanting to use a external battery compartment such as a battery bag or AN/PEQ on their gun. Also, for highly upgraded guns, it provides a huge amount of power. They are also less susceptible to cold weather leeching the power, which is an issue with traditional NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) and NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries.

When you go looking for your Lipo battery, do your research. Look up good brands, like Intellect or Firefox, and look at the Voltage, mAh, and “C” rating of the battery. The choice also depends on your gun, whether or not it is upgraded, and what of quality it is. A 7.4V Lipo is equivalent to a 9.6V NiCd or NiMH. Most stock guns shooting under or around 350fps should use a 7.4v Lipo to prevent damage to the gears and piston. If your gun is heavily upgraded, look at the 11.1V Lipo, which has more power to push over those heavy springs.
