hmmm...I know you guys haven't had any problems yet. But the cells used by battery space is of cheap quality that loose their ability to hold a charge after a couple of months. For a few bucks more you can get the same mAh battery in the link from onlybatterys.com and with x3 the discharge rate with a known high quality branded nimh.

so far i havent noticed any drop in proformance after 6 months of playing, and going through about 15 games

Even the cheapest cells should still last a good while.

I've gotten NiMH packs from Batteryspace before. They work great in stock guns. But I agree with freq88 that they are low quality packs. The discharge rate is really low on them. I would spend the extra money and get a pack made with either KAN or GP cells. That's just me, though...

Yeah, I have had no problems with their batteries and have used them for more than a year now. Just make sure if you are using an upgraded gun the discharge rate is at least 30. The one you bought was 10 I believe which will work fine in a stock gun only....

I suppose for airsoft they are "good enough". But I came from the world of RC cars and heli's. Where every amp, and voltage is needed and used. I have access to the highest end chargers/cellmatchers on the market, and use a fairly high end charging system. I'm quite capable of maintaining, charging and getting the most out of my cells. These cells have been discussed in great lengths on many rc forums. And it is the general consensus that they aren't up to par as far as performance goes.

[quote="freq88"]The link I provided is the same size pack for only a few dollars more, it's a gp cell and rated at 30amps discharge. A much better buy considering the quality between the 2 cells. We spend good money and time on our aeg's to get them to perform well. The batteries are the heart of an aeg's and so we probably shouldn't settle for "good enough"[/quote]

well i just recieved two batteries from that site in the mail today so i guess i'll get to see for myself how they preform and last. But i do have to say, two 8.4v 1100mah batteries shipped for only 25 dollars was an awesome deal. Plus it shipped in only 2 days!
