Buying Advice
Before choosing a Li-Ion battery, check your airsoft gun's recommended voltage, connector type and available battery space. A 7.4V battery is suitable for most standard AEGs, while an 11.1V battery offers faster trigger response and rate of fire but should only be used in airsoft guns designed to handle the increased performance.
It's also important to use a charger that is specifically designed for lithium-ion batteries. Using the correct charger helps maximise battery life and ensures safe charging every time.

- Avoid physical damage, crushing or puncturing the battery.
- Recharge the battery periodically if it will be stored for extended periods.
