ya thx, how exactly do you check if a battery has a charge.

[BBS]

put it in your gun and try shooting it? :shrug:

if you feel the power is lacking compared to the first few shots you took, then you need to discharge it and get it juiced up again.

wow apparently you didn't read any of the other posts, it wont shoot at all but it seems like the battery has power but im not sure so i need to know how to check that.

Well, technically without a loadmeter you can't, unless you have another thing that uses the same type of battery. You can stick a multimeter in it to check voltage levels, but that won't create a load. If the battery is below it's rated voltage after a full charge, it might need a deep cycle.

Wow apparently you don't use the SEARCH function, because there is a nice thread in the FAQ section called "The Battery FAQ" which explains all of this.

well i had a specific question about a specific battery in a specific gun, so i kinda figured doing a search wouldnt do me much good. Mainly because like ive said i dont think the battery is the problem i think its the wiring and i wanted to here what you guys thought.

If your confident, start dismantling it. Start with the motor plate and see if its the problem, if not check near where the battery is stored for a fuse or dissconnected wire. If its neither of those you may need to check further inside the gun until you find the problem.

To which we gave you our opinions, to which you started asking how to check battery levels (and it's not a specific battery in a specific gun, it's a generic battery in a generic gun), to which we directed you to the battery FAQ which answers your questions about the battery.
