Is it possible to overcharge an airsoft battery




















If a battery gets too hot during charging a chemical reaction can occur that cases gas to accumulate in the battery. The gas will distort the position of the various elements in the battery reducing or eliminating its capability to store or discharge electricity. Thats about as dumbed down as I can put it. Best test is use it and see for yourself how it performs.

Don't worry, batteries are pretty cheap. Thanks a lot Scarecrow. I'm going to test it today and see how many rounds I can put through it.

Cause I've read that you can get abour rounds on a mah battery, so with my mah battery, I'm expecting a little over rounds on a full charge. Depending how many rounds I get through my battery, I should be able to determine just how damaged it is. Is my theory flawed? June 15th, , wingman. June 16th, , OfficerChan. Well, I put my battery into my gun. So I assume that the battery is dead.

I got a new battery, charged it, and I found out that the fuse blew. Better the fuse than my gun. But, I don't know if the blown fuse is caused by the old battery or the new battery. Btw, I found out that the old battery was leaking battery acid and it was also making a bubbling noise during a charge, I bought it used. Lesson learned, never buy used stuff. So, tommorow when Canadian tire opens, I'm going to buy a new fuse.

And see how this new battery performs. Thanks for all the help guys. June 16th, , Scarecrow. June 20th, , OfficerChan.

Ok, now I've encountered a new problem. New battery, new fuses. The stock fuse I had was a 20A, 32V fuse. For some reason, I kept blowing all the fuses from The Source. But the fuses I bought from RP Electronics are fine. But I also installed the fuses from RP with gloves. And the fuse didn't blow. Does anyone know if you're supposed to wear gloves to install fuses? Because I thought the oil from my fingers must've caused the previous fuses to blow.

Testing my hypothesis, I took out my current fuse without any gloves and reinstalled it. It didn't blow. Now this has me totally confused. Playing airsoft not only requires you to be fast but also becoming tactical and shoot accurately. Practicing at a shooting field help players, but having attachment onto the gun also improves your We all know that vision in airsoft is important and can decide between winner and loser.

While playing, fogging appears and cause bad vision. Let's say you love your mask or goggles, but don't want Skip to content Figuring how long airsoft battery should be charged can be difficult to determine, but if you keep on reading you will know how long airsoft battery should be charged. Here is an example of how you calculate time to charge: To fully understand how to calculate the time you need to know the battery capacity and how much is drawn out of the output charger.

Temperature can also be another factor which can affect how long battery would charge. What is the Difference Between a Smart Charger and a Standard Charger To avoid any overcharge or produce too much heat, the best solution is using a smart charger. Despite they cost more than typical charger they are reliable and safest to use. Once the battery has reached the maximum capacity the light on the charger turns green.

You can charger it with a 6V, 7. This product is popular for many airsoft players and low-cost if you are a beginner. They are lightweight and small so you can carry with it. Battery type What are the advantage What are the disadvantage What size of battery can you get?

NiMH battery have lower energy capacity and heavy compared to LiPo. Cost more and fragile like a drop to the ground , and require specific Lipo charger.

Not powerful as newer battery and not popular outdated technology and can only recharge once the battery is empty. They are difficult to purchase since they are made of toxic metal that can damage the environment.

If you need higher energy capacity and better performance LiPo batteries are ideal. If the battery charger has more than 1 input, you should charge one at a time or you might damage the charger always read the manual before use. Be sure to use the correct charger: look at what type of battery you have and what type of charger. Never charge non-rechargeable battery. On the battery, there is a sticker that says battery type. Faulty or damaged battery: If you see there is a hole in the pack or burn marks, never charge them.

Leaving battery empty in an airsoft gun would result in three things: Battery that is connected to airsoft gun would discharge itself much faster than leaving it alone. Instead of leaving them in the open, put them in a Ziploc bag. Another thing that happens would be corrosion and damage both airsoft gun and battery.

If there is a problem with the trigger the gun and the battery is still connected, it could fire till the battery is completely drained out.

If someone were to pick up the gun and pull on the trigger which can shoot someone by mistake or damage properties. Before putting batteries on the shelf and let them stand there for a long time, these are the tricks I would like to do: Charge them full capacity than leaving battery flat.

However, If you own a smart charger you can feel comfortable leaving a battery charged because the battery will neither undercharge nor overcharge and it will be safe to leave it in an active charger for an extended period of time in most cases. Yet, what I have learned is that it is not recommended to leave any technology in electric supply without supervision for long periods of time because everything can malfunction no matters how extremely low the odds may seem.

This is especially concerning when it gets stormy outside and it is how many people I know, including my father lost precious technology such as PCs and speakers. Electricity is a dangerous matter and sometimes the best safety, anti-thunder technology becomes useless when the static electricity levels get charged in the earth in case the lighting has crushed somewhere nearby.

Every battery will lose its charge over time, so it is not smart to charge a battery and leave it for the next month thinking it will work as intended. Some batteries lose charge after a week and some will lose the same amount only after a month or so, you can further check your battery model and see what the instructions say.

Therefore, you should always charge the battery fully when you get it for the first time prior to using it. If you leave the battery in storage without touching it and recharging it for a few months, you can expect that such practice may compromise its efficiency and effectiveness, so try to use it at least once in a while, just like you should take care of your other airsoft gear. You can leave the most batteries in your airsoft gun without any issues as long you take care of your battery by not leaving them completely empty for an extended period of time usually for more than a few weeks.

If you charge your battery and leave it within your airsoft gun it will remain safe just as it would outside of it. However, LiPo batteries are more sensitive, so while you could get away for longer than a few weeks with other batteries, I would at least unplug the LiPo in order to prevent the discharging.

Standard chargers are the most common chargers and due to different models, some are better and some are worse. We could say that a decent standard charger should be at least able to spot over-heating and prevent it, but there are many standard chargers that do not have this ability.
