TF 16 Battery Problems

Specter130 · October 22nd, 2008, 17:09

I have a strange problem with my battery. I plugged it in and charged it fully and then, instead of putting it into the gun, I just left it on my desk next to the gun. The next day I plugged it into my gun, and my gun is not working. Its not even shooting. Its just silent. Im clueless of what to do...

Well it's not a great gun to begin with. The battery might have lost its charge, due to its inherently shitty nature. Charge it again and try it in the gun. If it does have a charge, and the gun still doesn't work, you're SOL. Repairs will probably cost you more then the gun is worth.

Batteries do not leak their charge into the atmosphere, even if they are shitty. Only shitty chargers. Grab a voltmeter if possible to test. Alternatively, try a different battery.

Spectre: Check wiring path from battery to mechbox, fuse, connectors (make sure none of the metal prongs inside have come loose), and finally mechbox connections. If there are no flaws present in your wiring harness, you have a mechbox problem.

Coma, you've forgotten about battery fairies.

Spectre, go to mechbox.com before you open up your gun. It will make life much easier.

Its Specter...
And yeah, ive tried everything. I used the battery on my friends gun, and its not the battery. Its the gun. The wiring is all messed up inside. And Dante is right. The gun is awful. The FPS is good, but the design just doesnt work. They made the stock too damn heavy and they didnt re-enforce it enuff so its cracked. I brought the gun back and told them its defective. They said that theyve had alot of people bring back that gun. All well, I still have my Kraken.
