Awesome, seems like a solid investment. You're sure the rifle is lipo ready? I'm not seeing anything about this, no reviews or anything... Hmmmm... I'd hate to buy it then ruin it shortly after... It is if you use a 7.4v. Without going into the internals and tuning up first, I wouldn't go any higher than that. A 7.4v isn't anymore powerfull than a 9.6v, just more efficient.

Hmmm, looking into a lipo now, there's so many different options for batteries... Nunchuck, stick, mini, tube stick... What would fit best in your opinion?

Would you recommend that battery in particular? It's definitely one of the cheapest I've seen for a lipo so far.

I owned the G&G FNC (the actual one pictured earlier), it is a beast. I would compare carrying it around to carrying around an unloaded (real) M249. It's ridiculously heavy. It's reliable though, the handguard where the battery goes leaves a lot to be desired however. If you don't mind carrying around a solid chunk of metal and a replica that is a PITA to get the battery in. Then the G&G FNC is right on the money. Edit: I almost forgot to mention the finger fucking. An essential part to owning an AEG or any airsoft replica, is the finger fuckability, which everyone forgets. This thing is one of the most fun replicas to just pick up and handle. Just a pure delight.

A 7.4v lipo will deliver the same power as a 9.6v in a much smaller package. This isn't always true. It depends on the individual battery. I see a lot of people say this and it's not technically accurate. I'm assuming no one here wants a technical lecture, so I'll just nutshell this. If you are using a small (mAh) 9.6v battery you will not see much or any loss moving to a 7.4v battery with a decent C Rating. If you are using a large 9.6V Battery say 2000mAh or greater than you will definitely see a loss in ROF and potentially trigger response. The battery that you linked to wouldn't result in a significant trigger response loss (because it's 25C), but depending on the alternative 9.6V you could lose some ROF.

For what he's looking to do, and the battery that will fit in the hand guard of the FNC, the difference between the 9.6v that would fit and a normal 20-25c 7.4v lipo will be almost nonexistent. Now if he was looking at a huge 9.6v battery that can fit in a full stock, yes you would be correct. I was commenting on the battery storage area of the replica he was looking at, which I'm very familiar with.

That's what I figured based on the pictures. You just have to be careful with those statements because someone else might read that as ALL 7.4v LiPos will perform the same as ALL 9.6v NiMH batteries. I occasionally see other people posting that rule of thumb. I don't think most people on this forum understand the differences between the two chemistries or how varying voltage and current affect an airsoft gun. Hell I don't think a most manufacturers understand the difference either. Not that there's anything wrong with people not knowing. It just means that we have to choose our words carefully.

I didn't see a chrono difference in RPS between my 3800mah 9.6v and my 5000mah 25c 7.4v. Both shoot 27rps +/- a few based on temperature. Of course your mileage may vary.
