You can order that stuff on group orders if needed. $1980 is not terrible, but it's not the best pricing I've seen either. But considering the availablity of them, even through Asian retailers, you may have to pay a little bit more up front and get it in a month than save $200 and wait many months.

I suppose you could have the battery built by a battery shop. The cells can be bought and they could make them for you, but if the price is even close to the Systema battery, buy the Systema one. Apparrently, Systema gets their Sanyo cells direct from Sanyo from the "AA" bins, which mean practically matched cells, so the performance is the best it can be. And the rigid nature of the Systema batteries (due to the steel rods under the wrapping) makes battery changing and transport very easy and risk-free.

BTW, A&A has batteries for $120 for 12 volt, or something very close.

The burst was meant originally for the M16A3 MAX model, but I recall that the older M4 MAX also had that. The NMM4A1 (new model M4) is full, as is the CQB-R ( I have both). Truth be known, I would rather have the burst on both of mine, but I can always make them burst by a simple solder job on the main board, or as another ASC-er did and install a micro toggle switch to give him either burst or full simply by splitting the receivers
