battery

weeder

hey,
my aug arrived thismorning.
shiva recommend 6 hours charging, 1100Mah battery,
would it do any harm to take it off after 5 hours because im eager to get out and do some shooting in the garden before it gets dark,
thanks,
sean

N.O.I.P.

Whatever you do don't unplug it before its fully charged, especially on its first charge













Charge it fully that way you can shoot for longer

weeder

ok ok fair enough, it says on the battery to do 7 hours at 220 ma but shiva said to do a max of six, probabaly cos its a 250 ma charger

god damned itchy trigger finger
its killin me at this stage

N.O.I.P.

Ah you'll be grand if you only give it a half charge, go on unplug that charger and obliterate some cereal boxes

NakedHedgehog

It's only a battery anyway. Better hurry - it's getting darker!

weeder

only 20 mins left now
cans are more fun to obliterate lol

NakedHedgehog

It looks dark out to me!

meh guiness can in the bedroom XD

hmmm ive wasted the battery, its quiet hot, when i was shooting the ROF dropped suddenly and then it more a less just died

so do i wait for it to cool down and do another 6 hours or what?

got 1500 rounds or more out of it anyway

Masada

wait for it to cool and then charge it again, it shouldnt take as long to charge it after the first time and gradualy it will hold more charge as you break it in, unpluging it too early is bad though, the batteries can suffer whats called "memory effect" where they only charge to a certain point and dont last as long as they should., Id say give it 4 hours this time and keep an eye on it, if its not getting pretty warm after 4 hours then leave it a while longer, when it does get warm(almost hot but not really) then its ready,
I have to get myself a decent charger, My 10.8 is taking forever to charge.,lol

weeder

beeen on since 8 o clock and its still cold. ill be taking it off now at 2 anyway since thats the 6 hours

weeder

well it was a tiny bit warm after 6 and i took it off
that ok?

Wait half an hour between charging and use.

Why is that? Something I've never heard before.

Well, thats what my dad said, and it makes sense. Charging cells puts current through them, causing heat. Junior cert science teaches that temperature is directly proportional to resistance, the hotter the cell the higher the resistance. Even if the outside of the batt seems cool the interior may still be hot/warm. If you put bursts of drain on a battery after charging your gonna increse the temp and resistance and could cause overheating and bad ROF. Letting them sit for 30mins will let the heat dissapate. For the same reason you shouldn't use 15 second bursts on your aeg:p


Least thats how I understand it....

So it's just a theory then. You didn't read it in a battery manual that came with an AEG. Therefore it's not fact until proven. So don't state it as fact. As newbies may think it is.

makes sense tho and in the manual for my camera it says to let the heat dissapate before using so i reckon he's on to something

Ehh, AEG manuals....Pfff.....ever heard of engrish? They're a joke.


And robster, do that then whip out the battery anda feel the temp.

No need Leathal I can feel it through the stock:p







I dont really do this

ah i would be with him on the cooling thing,

a 330 hi cap mag really doesnt last long as youd want it to lol
