Wiring/Fuses

[Turd]

the battery in ebay is NiCAD not NiMH, not sure if that will change much but just making sure you know

I run a mini battery in my 400 FPS AUG and it lasts all day and more.

And Dusti, bad idea. Just carry an extra battery if you feel you need to, which you probably won't need anyway.

Dont get me wrong minis are ok for small guns , but why run a mini in a ak when a large will fit. Also im sure your ROF with the aug is quite low , especialy at the end of the day.

Same at the end of the day as it is at the start. ROF is still decent.

Running fuses it largely useless (unless you are using a Li-Po battery), so don't worry about a fuse on either end, your mechbox will frag itself before the fuse goes in a lot of cases.

If I were you, I'd worry MORE about the switching part of your plan. Have a switch with a DC rating of over 15A that you can fit on your gun without being a huge lump on the side? Good luck with that.

i think that plans been scrapped.
i was just gonna have the battery inside the stock and have a stick battery with a wire running down through the gap in the back of the receiver and through the stock with the other wire and just unplug one battery and plug the other in. an extra battery in a pocket someplace does sound like the better and more cost effective solution because i already have spare minis

Agreed. A cheaper fuse = your finger... don't hold down your finger and empty 400 rounds and you'll be fine.

is it safe to run an AEG with out a fuse?

i have my MP5 wires going to the rear but i also added an extension to the foregrip ( i can use either minis in the foregrip or large in the stock ) but i have no fuse is that okay? ive used it at a few games now with no problems

Edit: nvm... this has been answered already :P

[BORDENSNIPER]

hmm...just to confirm

so its k to be running without a fuse, as long as we dont go too trigger happy?

i have an m4 and running a 9.6 2000mah on it (crane stock)

In order:

1- Get new gun
2- Remove all the wires INCLUDING the fuse
3- Replace with high grade silicone wire
4- Install MOSFET
5- Re-shim, clean and regrease/lube the mechbox
6- Have fun!

I did a double battery setup in my G36K.

I simply wired two wires from the front to the rear, with a female plug at front and a male at rear. That way, if I am not using the foregrip battery, I just have to plug wire at the place of the battery and use the stock battery.

Having a double setup can also be made just by having the wires go to both ends. You can leave the fuses there, it does not mather as long as there is no battery connected on BOTH ends at the same time.

Tell me you have a link explaining the differences between cell types. I mean S/C, 2/3A, sub-C etc...
