vorpalbunnie Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ok guys. I'm thinking of making something for my mk43 so it can hold my 8.4v 3400 MaH battery. The magazine pouch gap is too small and cramming it in bends the BB feed tube. Anyone ever tried/seen somebody try this? Have any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
Josiah Hull Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Not sure why yours will not fit, my 3800's fit fine, but you could just strap the battery to the top of the box using the velcro flap that covers the ammo carrier. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Awwww, but that's so boring and easy and cheeeeaaaapppp. Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Have you not thought of using a Li-Po? A comparably 'powerful' one would be less than half the size of the Ni-mH. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I thought about Li-Po. But after taking chem (still in high school) and doing lots of experiments with lithium, plus many hours on YouTube watching videos, I'd like to play it safe and not get a Li-Po.

-Angel- Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Lipo's are safe if you're sensible. R-tards on youtube intentionally hammering packs with too much power are not a factual basis to discount them. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 @angel I know. But I'm definitely the "better safe then sorry" kind of guy. Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 In that case you better not use batteries at all...any battery no matter the chemical composition is prone to harmful damage. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 @angel I know. But I'm definitely the "better safe then sorry" kind of guy. STOP BREATHING RIGHT NOW. You might die of hyperoxia. Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 In that case you better not use batteries at all...any battery no matter the chemical composition is prone to harmful damage. That's right, go GBB and run on Propane Joking aside, Li-Pos are not as volatile as the early ones, which is where 99% of the scare stories come from I reckon. They were originally developed for model aircraft, and as such were prone to crash damage. They'd get pulled out of a wrecked model as one of the few salvageable parts, only to fail the next time they were charged, due to them being damaged. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'll probably switch to Li-Po eventually, when the tech gets really advanced. Also, the local airsoft store here only has like 2 different types, and my friend got one and it was not a very good deal, see= didn't work right, couldn't hold charge well, unpredictable, etc. I'll probably wait until I head back to the USA, where there will be more options.

MrM60 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ok guys. I'm thinking of making something for my mk43 so it can hold my 8.4v 3400 MaH battery. The magazine pouch gap is too small and cramming it in bends the BB feed tube. I know this was a bit ago, but how did you manage to do that? My Mk43 can hold a large type 10.8v battery without and problems in the pouch. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I think it's a defect. The metal lined hole in the patch doesn't line up with any holes in the metal thing the mag attached too. Link to post Share on other sites
Clot Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Mine was the same, it was a bit of a push to get the feed tube through the metal guide, the cardboard hole and the fabric bag. I would just lob it all off and secure the feed tube to the body without any of the other malarkey. Link to post Share on other sites
