battery and charger

ok so on my gun, it says not to charge the battery for over six hours cause it will over charge and eventually not work at all. should i be careful about it or will it matter if i charge it for an extra hour or so?

Overcharging your battery will greatly reduce its lifespan, think of it as trying to shove your size 9 foot into a size 8 1/2 sneaker, you may get your foot into the sneaker, but sooner or later something is going to give.

Overcharging your battery will just kill it sooner.

ok. how long do they usually last if i don't overcharge it

It depends on how much you shoot. A good guideline is for every mAh its about 1 shot.

I thought it was 2 shots per mAh?

It is 2 shots per mAh isn't it?

I think it is I remember hearing that and reading it somewhere.

heres some advice so you don't have to worry about over charging...two words SMART CHARGER...this allows you to plug and go...turns of on its own when battery is charged and reconizes current charge so you don't have to empty it before recharging

Its smart to get a smart charger.
hehe pun intended

Haha I get it..... I have yet to use a smart charger although friends have them I already bother them enough about airsoft.

Since I have such a small group I go scrimaging with. We keep the guns & batteries at 1 house (Q) and put the batteries on a team purchased smart/field charger.

Thats a good idea were pretty small to but we just live a little to far apart and play all over the place so theres no really certain place on where we are going to play next.

ah that sucks. Yea all my friends live within about 20 mi at most from my house. So if I need to go pick up a gun it isn't too far out of the way. And when im modding a gun i just keep it at my house. We also rotate houses.

Same thats actualy a good idea im going to mention it to the team and see what they think. Only problem they might have with it is some of them don't have there licenses so thats a litle problem.

We do the same thing. We have different things at different houses of ours and if we need it its there. The farthest one of us lives like 7 minutes away so if we need something we can go back.
