10.8v battery

[132tim]

if i put in a 10.8v battery into a stock ics m4a1 will it do any damage and will that increase fps or just ROF

Increase in battery power typically increases your rate of fire by a noticable amount. Your FPS may go up, but don't expect a 300FPS to jump to 370FPS. You'll get a small boost (more power going through it). With more power going through it, you do run the risk of damaging your insides. I'm not 100% familiar with ICS's products, so I can't comment on whether or not a 10.8v battery would eat up the internals like hotdogs at a BBQ.

General consensus though, is that if you upgrade to a rather beefy battery, your internals should be upgraded to withstand the force of it.

Your battery never increases your FPS. It's mechanically impossible with current AEG designs. The travel of the piston is fixed, the spring will be released with the same amount of compression (+/- 1 or 2 mm, if that), no matter how fast your ROF is.

Huh? Batterys have nothing to do with FPS and everything to do with trigger response and ROF. Your piston is going to be flying back a bit faster so it's going to wear a little quicker but just use your full auto sparingly and it'll be fine. That being said if you could get someone to shim it for you that'd go a long way for reliability.

what do you mean by shim it

Shimming is the act of bettering the alignment of the gears inside the gun using very small washers referred to as shims. This lengthens then life of your gun and lets it run smoother and more efficiently. Just about every stock gun requires it.

10.8 volt battery wont damage your gun, i run a 12 volt batterry in my classic army i have shot over 130k bb and it never broke. All whats gonna happen is there will be big increse of your rof. shooting more faster = wear faster since you shoot more bb but its not thats bad like most people that havent tryed it and talk shit about it.

Note: i have a systema magnum motor in my gun and a systema m120 spring witch shoot 398-400 fps stable.

So true, ppl just get on the bandwagon about things that they haven't tried (in many cases not all) every AK Gearbox I've owned, Cyma, Dboys and JG has never been shimmed, run completely stock with regular 8.4 or 9.6 batteries and I've NEVER EVER EVER had any of them break on me,

people love to jump in and be like "Oh you should get your gun shimmed right out of the box" which is just retarded IMO and not necessary at all (at least on v3 boxes)

WRONG, as for increased battery power increasing FPS, wtf is that shit, so the extra voltage magically inscreases the tension on the AEG spring, transforming it from a SP110 to SP150?

That'll be 29.95

Or a case of Keiths.

I know this is a Necro, but I don't think it requires another thread.

So, a 10.8V wont hurt a stock Rifle, if you use Full auto sparingly, as in no 20 second Bursts?

Or should i New gears and piston with metal teeth?

what cell size? large size cell 10.8 will be very hard on stock ics internals, no chance of survival, unless you use semi

Never run piston with full metal teeth, you risk breaking your gear, better replace 20 $ piston than 100 $ gear plus new shimming or gun doc fee if you don't know to do by yourself.

Edit, Most of the gun require shimming out the box but doesn't mean all guns require shimming, just take you time to check them out. Better safe than sorry. I already counter a few brand new gun need shimming but some has decent shimming as well. V3 mechbox won't break mechbox shells easily by just normal use.
