    Hi All,

    I'm heading out to Bray tomrorow for my first skirmish, really looking forward to it just don't wanna be shooting away then listen to my battery die!

    I use an M249 support weapon which has a Ni-Mh Battery 1200mAh 1.2v. I did charge it for many hours but wondering how these batteries work?
    • Will i be able to get a full day from battery while using burst fire all day?
    • How long is the charge time?
    • Is the secondary battery essential?
    Thanks!

    Abram

    Well, each cell in a battery is 1.2v, so on your battery, count how many cells there is and find out how big the battery is (like if its an 8.4 or a 9.6) So say 2 cells added up would be 2.4v etc etc.
    And a 2nd battery is ALWAYS handy to have :)

    As a rough rule of thumb 1 BB per mah
    So 1200mah battery = 1200 BBs roughly

    Based on previous experience, you being a first timer, the type of games played in Bray, and using what is a support gun, you will definitely need a second battery. A third wouldn't hurt either.
