The new G&P batteries are a 9.6v or 10.8v 2200mah Nimh instead of the shown 1700mah Nicad. It will crank my gun with standard ratio gears and an MS110 spring with ease.

If you use a good torque-up gear set, you should get some life out of a battery that size at 450 FPS. My G&P SPR would get around 1000 rounds at 450+ with a 9.6v 2100mah Nicad. Not enough for a full day, but 2 would be.

Another thing as well. The G&P crane stock is significantly smaller than ones that hold large sub-c battery packs. It's fit is better and they solve many of the potential wire problems associated with other designs as there is almost no exposed wiring and the entire battery moves as one unit with the stock.

Good design in my opinion.
