Question

How long does a 8.4v 1100mah airsoft gun battery last when fully charged?

Answer 1

When I first started with airsoft I heard that would last 1100 shots but that is BS.  Maybe he had a c**p battery, who knows.

I just bought a 2000 Mah battery and and tested a 1000 round mag I had just bought putting 3000 through it and then played all day with it the following Sunday.  It still has plenty of juice.  It is an Intellect NiHm battery and I used a smart charger so I didn't blow it up so that might have something to do with it.

Let a NiCd sit on a cheap charger all night and it is toast.

Answer 2

Depends on the manufacturer and on your setup, cheap chinese batteries on powerful motor-spring ratios will last about the same as it's "mah"-age. More powerful setups kinda halves that, and good quality batteries, Sanyo, Intellect and such, will kind of double that. It's all approximation but long story short, they will last you for at least one or two games, even if you're in a shooting spree.
