Specna Arms 11.1v 1300mAh Lipo (20/40C) | FREE Delivery over €50 (ROI)
Airsoft batteries can be a bit overwhelming - there are numerous things to consider; the battery technology (NiMH/NiCd, Lipo, LiFE, Li-Ion etc), the voltage, and the shape/style. The different technologies will require specific chargers, although you can get chargers that will work with multiple battery types. It is essential to only use the correct charger, as otherwise you will damage the battery, and create a fire hazard.
The most popular battery type is a 7.4v Lipo, due to its widespread compatibility, and small size. They will work with virtually all airsoft guns, and thanks to how compact you can get them, they will fit in almost anything. NiMH batteries are an older technology than Lipos, and are more stable, but offer poorer performance. They are, however, more forgiving. If you run a lipo battery flat, the battery is fit for the bin, however with an NiMh, it doesn't matter - you can just charge it up and away you go. NiMH batteries are larger, and need to be purchased in the style that will fit your replica e.g. mini type for P90, Nunchuck for most M4's, stick type for AK's/STG-44 etc.
Lastly, we have to consider voltage - for best performance with an NiMh, you will typically use 9.6v. The equivalent in Lipo is a 7.4v. You can also get 11.1v Lipo batteries, which will cycle your gun significantly quicker, although they are not compatible with every gun.
Specna Arms are one of the most dominant brands on the airsoft market, coming out of nowhere to completely take over, offering superior performance, better value, and unbelievable quality at an affordable price. Perhaps better than any other, Specna Arms have dedicated tiers covering each price point, with massive variety of models at each level - FLEX is their entry level sportsline series, where you have high quality internals paired with fibre reinforced nylon externals, CORE are their mid-level range with more metal components on externals (e.g. handguard/rail kits), and EDGE are their high end full metal replicas with higher quality internals. And that's just the guns!
Specna Arms also produce a massive range of accessories from magazines to batteries, tactical gear, and much more. All of their products have a focus on airsoft, and airsofters, making them optimised for the skirmish field. It is hard to beat them for sheer quality, especially when you factor in their price. Virtually all of their guns have quick spring change systems, with steel gears and 6.03mm tightbore barrels out of the box, and since you can get virtually every part for them, you can tweak and customise to your heart's content, and create something unique to you. It's no surprise that they are one of the most often recommended, and most beloved airsoft manufacturers.
This 11.1v lipo battery is a stock tube style, with a capacity of 1300mAh which will last approximately 1300 shots in between in charges. It has a discharge rate of 20C sustained, offering great performance, especially thanks to the burst of up to 40C for snappy trigger response and greater rate of fire.
