Practical A.E.G Upgrade 2006

Can I still use the smaller batteries to power my upgraded mechbox?

I want to hide my battery inside the grip and the stock but the battery

cells are too big. What should I do?

Chaining up your batteries: Parallel VS Serial configurations.

Smaller batteries have higher internal resistance and can get heated up easily. If

you really want to use smaller batteries for fitting into the grip or the stock, you

may need to go up to 10.8V or 12V. Practically speaking, the output of a 12V

Sanyo 600mah is roughly on par with that of a 9.6V GP 2000 mah. And 600mah

is way too insufficient. If you really need to go small, consider the GP 1100mah

NiMHs instead.

As said before, the small batteries are no longer sufficient for powering an

upgraded gun. However, the bigger batteries have to be housed externally,

which is not convenient at all.

If the grip and the stock have space to house the smaller cells, one thing you

might want to do is to use a parallel configuration. That is, you can have two sets

of 9.6V small batteries chaining up together to double the capacity. The

connection must be parallel, NOT serial:
