AEG Maintenance

    Ok just a few questions on general maintenance. I haven't put this in the trouble shooting section cause I don't have a problem.

    1. :confused: Should batteries be kept fully charged or should they be left empty until needed then charged?

    2. :confused: When storing an AEG for a few weeks in between skirmishes should the battery be left in the AEG and connected?

    3. :confused: When should cleaning of the inside be done, eg. spraying in some silicone spray?

    Any other maintenance tips let me know, Thanks ;)

    Some people say the batteries should be discharged after use and then charged just before needed. Im not too sure if this is correct because the more you charge/discharge a battery the more you shorten its life. I sprayed my AEG once in 3 months, i think this is good enough as i havnt had any problems with it. GBB's need more though. You should disconnect the battery when not in use.
    As for other tips: I find strokeing your AEG and whispering gently to it greatly improves its self confidence and lets it know you care :)

    1. Personally i leave my batteries with the charge that is left in them after a skirmish and then discharge and charge when needed.
    My blue battery has never died on me.



    2. Good god no you insane?



    3. I remember someone used to say every 9000 bbs or so is a good time to give the AEG a bit of lubing.


    Dont play with gear boxes unless you have a manual in front of you and that you know whats supposed to be there.
    Made that mistake and spent hours looking for bits that were non existent.

    Probably best to send just chalkys post over. Keep it uncluttered. Has a link to everything you need to know.

    Locking the thread not be a better solution considering it is of no use to anyone as the stickies contain all of this information?

    Merging would that not just cause someone to read the same facts over again?
