Hands down the 7.4 lipo gives me the lowest rate of fire with every gun i own. So i am asking myself again what is the benefit of the 7.4lipo over a good quality 9.6NiMh? I get that lipos discharge differently and can potentially last longer throughout a day of gameplay.. but at the expense of gun performance?
I wanted the 7.4 lipo because i had heard that i should get the same results as a 9,6 but with some of those good lipo qualities (trigger response, etc) but in this case it seems to me like the better battery is the 9.6? (faster rate of fire, easier on the gearbox)
I have another 7.4 (Hobby King Nano-Tech Airsoft) on it's way.. this could be a better quality battery so i'll see how that goes.

It depends how much amps the 7.4 lipo is putting out. This lipo
here is smaller then a Nimh, but is a 7.4v lipo regardless. It puts out a total of 16.5 amps. (15C x 1.1Ah).
Nimh batteries are generally 120mm (L) x 34mm (W) x 19mm (H). An intellect one is 9.6v 1600mah. Generally, they output 12C continuous. 12C x 1.6Ah = 19.2 amps. This is more then the 7.4 lipo.
Now, compare it to this lipo
here . From the math above, the GensAce 7.4v lipo should be 55 amps continuos, 110 amps burst. And this lipo is smaller then an average NiMH! Now thats a difference. Also, you can see that a word "7.4v lipo" is pretty broad, ranging from 16.5 amps to 55 amps.
You have to remember that when comparing 7.4v lipos to 9.6v NiMH, you consider the mAh and C rating.
