Will changing the mAH of the battery in your airsoft gun mess up your gun?

Im getting an echo1 mp5 and want to get a better battery for it... it comes with a 8.4v. 1500mAH battery but theres a really good deal on a 8.4v 3800 mAH battery... would using this battery damage my gun? could i use the charger that it came with to power the new battery?Will changing the mAH of the battery in your airsoft gun mess up your gun?The 3800mAh battery will work just fine it just has larger discharge capacity (longer lasting charge). It is the voltage increase that increases the motor RPM and the rate of fire, since your new battery is same volts it will be the same and will not damage your gun at all.



So you are probably charging your 1500mAh battery for about... hmm let's do a quick calculation since I don't know your charger - I'll assume 250mA output below:



1500mAh / 250mA = 6h (min), and the max being 120% of that (or 1.2 x 6h) = 7.2h (do not exceed this!)



So the new battery will be 3800mAh / 250mA = 15.2h (min) and 18.24h (max)



I sure hope you have a 500mA charger :)

not bad for $30 and will charge any 7.2v~12v 1100mAh+ battery in just over an hour (I have that one, it's great). The only thing it lacks is a discharge cycle for nicad type packs. Get what you pay for :)
