    Hi folks .
    i have a CA 416 with alot of decent upgrades by the previous owner , a friend of mine. but one of the upgrades was a lipo battery .. which i only got couple of mags out of before it went dead ... is now useless , wont charge at all with lipo charger ... so after questioning some shop owners about the lipo battery and how much care they need i think given my experience with airsoft it would be best for me to use a standard type battery goin forward

    my gun has a magpul stock which the lipo could fit , but now that i am returning to standard type battery i think the side barrel mount will be maybe my best option as i no longer have the space in the stock... can someone here advise the best product to go for that i would achive the same performance and life span for the sacrifice of having a bigger battery or is there a fool proof option out there for using lipos
    with thanks

    lipos are great mate...as long as you don't completely run em dead there's no problems with them. Never ever run a lipo completely dead..as soon as your rof drops dramatically switch to a new one and you'll have no issues with them.
    I made the switch long ago and they're a hell of a lot lighter and more compact.
    As long as you don't leave the house with them on you'll be find.

    ps...get a good make of lipo like g&p etc..
    They've a higher discharge so a better rate of fire...pretty close to a 9.6v nimh
    eg..I've two of these and extremely happy with them
