Which Battery? (SiG552)

[Rotting]

Seems my new motor may not be capable of functioning with the current 8.4v 1100MAh battery I currently have. I'm advised, regardless, to upgrade the battery. My problem is I don't know which battery appropriately can be put in here. Society seems to dislike the SiG552 quite a bit, and batteries aren't listed with "Will fit in SiG552" or whatnot.

I can remove the part that the battery normally rests upon for a bit more room heightwise, but not lengthwise.

I'm already told against getting anything above a 10V since it'll destroy the gears and possibly the mechbox, so I don't want to run that risk, so obviously it's narrowed down to a 9.6V battery. I'm not willing to have a battery pack outside the weapon, either, so I need to be able to fit the sucker in the gun.

Any suggestions?




P.S. I know I made a thread for it specifically, but mind as well ask in a P.S.. Anyone know where to get a handguard pin, preferably not a piece of crap?


Thanks ASC.

read your other thread, there is no such thing as "incompatible" battery with motor.

I almost facepalmed

You're not gonna get a bigger battery in that gun in its current configuration. The battery it uses is listed as a mini type battery. The only way you could run a 9.6 would be to mount a battery box on the front handguard or put it in a mag pouch on the stock. Both of which you said you don't want to do. I looked into this issue for my 552 as well and seems to me there are no ways around it except the options i listed above.

Good luck.

Oh and try airsoftparts.ca for the pin, not sure if they carry it tho.
