OK. True, I should have pointed that out in my previous post. Sorry for that, as my AUG is heavily modified and even with a M135 spring the 11.1V indeed allow for quite an insane rate of fire.

The Voltage, however, matters a lot.

So if you have a stock gun, but you find a 8.4v 2700mah attery (large type) that fits in it, dont worry about it.

Would 3600mAh be considered 'pushing it?'

Again, the MAH does not matter. The voltage does.
Overall the more MAH, the better.

If you follow that 11.1 volt advice, you WILL have problems.

Simple; you want a battery that is 8.4 volts and the most MAH you can find. There's nothing clearer than that.

Thank you very much. It is now crystal clear.

The only little detail is that some battery cells that have a high MAH rating are a bit larger than regular ones (diameter) and may not fit well in some guns.

Overall, a 'large' 8.4 volt 2000mah battery should last you for two days of gaming in a stock or slightly upgraded gun.

The more MAH, the longer you have that 8.4 volts working for you.

Affirmative. If you intend using a stock AUG, you will have problems with the 11.1V battery. Also, I agree on that 8.4V/max. mAh advice. I did not intend to lure anybody into using a 11.1V battery in a stock AUG. Don't do that. Ever. Sorry.

For those who are interested, here is what it takes for 11.1V compatibility 8) ... (IMHO)

• Prometheus Air Seal Chamber Packing (Hard Type)
• Prometheus Non-Linear Spring MS135
• Prometheus Triple Torque Gear Set
• Systema Anti-reversal Latch for Gearbox Ver 2/3
• Systema Spring Set for Gearbox Ver 2/3
• Systema Stainless Steel Stopperrail for Ver 3
• Systema Shim Set
• Guarder Steel Bearing with double oil channel for all Marui AEG
• Guarder Spring Guide for Gearbox Ver 3
• Guarder Enhanced Tappet for TM Ver.3 Gear Box
• Guarder Cylinder Enhancement Set for Marui AUG
• PDC Metal Hop-Up Chamber for AUG
• Eagle Force Hummer Motor 1300 Short
• Deep Fire Titanium Piston, Full Teeth Version
• KM TN Metal Nozzle Type D for AUG

At least that is what I use in my AUG and I have put it through its paces, appr. 8000 shots with .25 bb so far and I have had absolutely no problems with the 11.1V battery. Of course there are other combinations of upgrade parts possible, but like I have just said, this is what I use and it works.

Go to ehobbyasia.com buy 2 Intellect 1400mAh Mini NiMH batteries. They are fairly cheap like 30cdn with shipping and last along time in the field around 2000rnds or so depending on how continuous the use is.

No point in getting 9.6 at all, and definitely no point in getting a NiCD battery as thats old technology. Anyone who says "NiMH are crap" are way out of date batterywise, so dont listen to them.
