Hello everyone

Picked up a cyma cm.048m recently and looking to get a battery for it, one it comes with is obviously rubbish as is all freebies, 

My battery is in the rear stock so i think i need a block style battery.

I think the gun can handle a 7.4v lipo or a 9.6v nimh

Any advice is appreciated, cheers guys!

 
Hey! ?

An AK Guy! ??

I have to 2 AK’s, both E&L:

AKM

AKS-74U

I run both guns on 7.4V, I can run both on higher batteries depends on what gear box your AK can take? 

In my opinion a 7.4V, is always a safe starting battery, hope this helps! ?

?GAMBLE?

 
I'd run a 7.4v LiPo, in terms of output it sits between 8.4v and 9.6v NiMh batteries, comes with its own set of issues but sure as hell it shadows them NiCd/NiMh ones in terms of reliability and performance.

Just make sure you get a dedicated charger :)

 
https://hobbyking.com/ list battery sizes (and you can filter by size) so just measure up the stock battery and find one to match.  +1 to 7.4V lipo unless you have a specific reason to get something else like you're a moderator here and your ball busting missus won't let you have dangerous lipos in the house except in her mobile phone that she's always swiping right on for some reason.

 
Hey Everyone thank you for your replies.

Ive checked out hobbyking and the prices are much better than what i was looking at, ill defo be buying a couple 7.4 lipos and a fire retardant box for them, what charger do you guys have? the chargers on there range from £10 to £100, would i need anything fancy?

@Rogerborg hahaha my missus is getting pretty used do the delivery man at the door ive ordered that much stuff....maybe i better answer the door from now on!

 
I use https://hobbyking.com/en_us/imax-b6ac-v2-professional-balance-charger-discharger-uk-plug.html because it has an inbuilt PSU but the turnigy ones are good too (better probably) supply your own PSU https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-accucel-6-80w-10a-balancer-charger-lihv-capable.html 

Honestly tho other than the cheap batteries at hobby king the prices at component shop aren't outrageous and they sell a PSU/charger combo and are UK based.

You need to consider what connector your battery uses. I got this adaptor https://www.componentshop.co.uk/female-mini-tamiya-to-deans-male-charger-adapter.html as my B6AC only comes with a deans lead as standard and while that is fine for people who have converted all their kit over to the superior connector if your gun takes mini tamiya like 90% of stock guns do then you won't be able to charge them without an adaptor. 

Don't even get me started to the reverse polarity in airsoft it still confuses the hell out of me but that adaptor I use reverses the cables for me so I don't need to think about it.  

 
Also worth checking VapexTech as they have some sizes that HobbyKing don't have

Make sure you get a genuine b6ac! I had a fake one for a while, I actually got from a very well know and reputable airsoft retailer. It was pants.

You can confirm it on the skyrc website, using the code on the box or charger.
