Well you need these things called batteries part 1

      Well this time I think I will talk about batteries. First I'm gonna talk about the parts of a battery. Then I'm gonna move on to the different kind of cells and I will throw in a little info about connectors. And then at the end I will talk about what kind of battery you will want to use.

     There are three main parts to a battery there are the cells (aka the batteries) these are the parts that holds the "juice".  There are the leads also know as the wires. And last but not lest there is the the connector.

There is for the most in the airsoft world there are three types of cells there are Lithium Polymer (LIPO) and nickel–metal hydride (NIMH) and nickel–cadmium (NICD).

Lipo

Lipos are the way to go if you have the money they are lighter, smaller ad pack more of a punch but they tend to be pricey if you buy from main stream sources and battery and a charger can run you about 70+ plus. if the battery over heats they sort of blow up. But hey they are good batteries they are what I use.

NIMH

These are very easy to use and are safe batteries these wont blow up. NIMH tend to be included with $100-$230 price range

NICD less common but still used you won't see very many of these out there out in the field
