Gens ace introduces a LiPo battery that not only offers higher capacity but is also high-quality and tightly packed.
This battery model is designed to fit under the AK top cover. Also compatible with E&L AK series replicas known for their tight battery compartments!
What are LiPo batteries?
Lithium-ion polymer packs (LiPo) are the most efficient lithium-ion based battery packs. The biggest advantage of LiPo batteries is their high power-to-size ratio. For this reason, even a small LiPo battery can deliver high currents, solving power supply issues in replicas with limited battery space instantly. LiPo batteries also have no memory effect, so they can be recharged repeatedly without the need for complete discharge. Frequent charging is beneficial for LiPo batteries.
When using LiPo batteries, it is important to remember that cells should not be discharged below 3 volts per cell. If the voltage drops below 3V per cell, irreversible chemical reactions occur inside the battery, reducing its performance and, in extreme cases, destroying the battery completely. During storage, a LiPo battery loses about 3–5% of its charge per month. For this reason, during long-term storage, LiPo batteries should be periodically charged to maintain their properties. A new, unused LiPo battery is stored at about 70% of its total capacity.
Additionally, cells must not be charged above 4.2 volts. Overcharging protection is provided by LiPo chargers designed specifically for LiPo batteries, which cut off the current at the correct point. Overcharging can cause a LiPo battery to catch fire! Always use chargers designed specifically for LiPo batteries!
In use, the average lifespan of a LiPo battery is about 500–700 charge cycles. LiPo batteries tolerate cold much better than traditional batteries, which makes winter gameplay with electric replicas possible in a completely new way. Although the batteries work in cold conditions, they should always be charged at room temperature.
