For those of you still learning, there is also a HUGE difference between a 'mini' 8.4 volt 1200mah and a 'large' of the same rated power. Both use different sized cells, and the 'large' (which fits inside the full stocks of the larger guns) has a LOT more capacity for power, abuse, speed of charging, and duration.

There are also limits with some gun models about exactly where you can stuff a battery inside.

So study the models you want to buy, or already have, carefully.

There is no reason why a normal battery, in a gun that is not insanely upgraded, should not last an entire gaming day unless you shoot like a nutcase.
