Eating Batteries

Nov 26, 2005 12:08am
My M-4 is going through batteries very fast lately. Anyone know what might be causing this? thanks in advance.

Could you hold it up in front of your computer so I can take a look at it.

I have not done anything different with the gun. It is a Classic Army M-4 with a retractable stock. The batery is a1.2v 600mAh. I have two batteries for the gun and it will eat one in about 45 minutes.

So you probably have an 9.6v batt and it's a mini pack. if your doing some full auto. Then sounds about right.

Yes, it should be the 9.6v.

check your motor. if its got stuff stuck in it, it might be harder for the motor to spin which requires more battery power to spin the motor. that would wear the battery out fast, or ur charger could be messed up, or maybe the batteries are old and there is a dead cell.if i were you i would make the motor nice and clean then see, then if it still doesnt work then i would buy new batts.

More info is needed to answer his question correctly. If you are shooting about 1000 rounds with a 600 mah battery, thats sounds correct...
