Reddit mentions of Tenergy 9.6V NiMH 1600mAh Rechargeable Butterfly Battery Pack with Mini Tamiya Connector for Airsoft Guns

I would recommend these guns, depending on your budget:

$60: Trishot shotgun(Might be a little hard for a 15 year old boy to pump Maybe not...)

$100: CYMA AK-47, one of the best airsoft gun for the price(Has battery and charger in the package)

$150-160: G&G Combat Machine M4(All of these guns come with a battery and charger in the package deal)

The following guns you will need to buy a battery and charger separately:

$200: King Arms M4

$250: Lonex M4

$300: VFC M4

Following gun only fits a 8.4v NiMh battery:

$400: Tokyo Marui AUG High Cycle (Will make all the other kids jealous)

ICS PAR MK3

For batteries you have a couple options:

7.4v lipo from Hobbyking (not sure on the exact one, but this should work) with Imax B6AC

Or

9.6v nimh with smart charger.

Lipos are better than Nimh, but you do need the fancy charger and they require a bit more care. heres a good care guide for them. The benefits are the smaller size, lower price, last longer per mah, and are more powerful.

Starter Guns:

Tippmann Commando: 150$

G&G CM Series: 100-250$

CYMA AK Series: ~100-200$

Classic Army EC-2: 185$, a bit overpriced but hey, its tan.

Gear:

Charger and a 9.6v battery: 34$

Don't forget eye pro. I use Revision Desert Locusts, but ESS goggles are great as well.

Needs to be posted. The uber beginners loadout.

wombat machine

Mag x3

bb's x2

Sling

Goggles, or find ess on ebay

Lower mesh

Battery

Charger

Belt system (also get the matching chest rig free with gun)

Find some clothes at wal-mart, camo pants and a t-shirt is fine.

Total should be ~280ish Dump the rest into deans, tbb, shims, motor, red dot, foregrip, etc...

A little over budget, but that’s the cheapest I could do for a gun that’s actually good. Don’t forget face protection. ANSI Z87.1+ full seal goggles and a metal mesh lower face mask. I would suggest a pair of Pyramex I-Force goggles and a OneTigris half mesh mask. That’s what I use and it’s great.

Thanks for the suggestion! One more question for you, if you don't mind: I'm good using this battery with the Krytac, right? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001LGW32A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B9vAxbZBB2440

I have used these in my Rival mods:

https://www.amazon.com/9-6V-NiMH-1600mAh-Stick-Battery/dp/B002QWYY66

You just have to switch the connector out for a better one (XT30/XT60/Deans).

This is a significantly cheaper smart charger. I have one and it does its job very well.

This battery
is also significantly cheaper.

I assume you have an actual hydration carrier for that bladder? Cheaper hydration bladders but shipping may be a factor.

In general, buying accessories on airsoft retailer sites will cost you unnecessarily. A quick google search for your product should net you something cheaper.

The Amazon listings have the terminoloy backwards. This is more commonly refered to as a Nunchuck. FYI, you can't retract the stock all the way with a 9.6V.

The battery your stock was designed for is the [8.4v/1600mah] (https://www.amazon.com/1600mAh-Battery-Tamiya-Connector-Assembled/dp/B0027UDVBG/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1503889083&sr=1-4&keywords=8.4+1600mah+battery), thankfully the better 7.4v/1600MAH small brick type is the same physical size.

I wouldn't use an 11.1V without changing the Piston, Tappet, and adding a MOSFET.

The stock piston in those shred.

Here’s the battery and charger I have

You can buy the battery and charger separately if you find that you want another battery though (I’ll put that link here too)

This one!

Barricade with stock motors, worker flywheels, 18awg wire, an xt60 connector, and this battery -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LGW32A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (obviously I replaced the connector with an xt60). The $40 doesn't have to include the battery, that would be nice but chances are I wouldn't be using them both at the same time anyway

I'm planning on purchasing my starter loudout today! Here's what I'm getting!

Gun: ICS G33

Eyepro: Save Phace Grunt Series

Facepro: Matrix Iron Face

Battery: Tenergy 9.6V 1600mAh Butterfly Mini NiMH

Charger: Tenergy Universal Smart Charger

Using the FREESHIP coupon code on Evike and the free shipping on Amazon get's the price to $288.98

If anyone has any advice feel free to comment!

Edit: Just ordered everything!

Personally, I would recommend saving a bit for one of these. You get a tougher receiver which, if you take care of it, will never have to replace. CYMA's proline AKs are the toughest that I've handled, and they will last.

Your first battery choice should be a NiMh, because they accommodate new players well. I suggest starting with this. Intellect cells haven't failed me yet.

I've heard that Tenergy has decent ones, but there are some consistency issues with my experience. They burnt out a £70 frankentorque motor that I installed for a customer (granted, it didn't have a MOSFET, my mistake), but the battery somehow clocked into a bunch of voltometers at around 11.3 volts. Quite unusual, considering that it should have been 9.6. I am sure that I just got a really crappy battery. (I know it was the battery, because it worked okay on my other NiMhs until I tossed that one on)

When using a NiMh, that Tenergy smart charger works fine.

If you plan on running any kind of LiPo, ESPECIALLY 11.1v and up, install a MOSFET. Even if you get a gun which already has a MOSFET, replace it. No stock gun has a good MOSFET that will protect your trigger contacts as good as this one.

Your current choices are good if you are stuck on that budget and need to play now, but if you can hold out for a little more, then definitely spend the extra money to get the best. Good luck!

This should work. It's prime, too. Have you fielded the gun yet? I'm curious as to how it performs, I've heard mixed things.

I bought these two together like 2-3 days ago so I don't think it is a weak battery. Tenergy Universal Smart Charger for RC/ Airsoft Battery/ NiMH/NiCd Battery Packs (6V - 12V)

ICS Transform4 with 10 FREE mid caps $324 This also comes with a free $65 dollar gift. Which you can choose to get a chestrig you like. I would suggest the condor MOPC but it's a few dollars too high lol.
If you want to spend less on a gun and more on gear, theres also this G&P M4 CQBR

9.6v Nimh Battery + Charger Just wear black cargos instead of wasting money on black bdus

Given you're not going LiPo for battery (perfectly understandable), here are cheaper options for your power needs:
A combo pack, or
just the battery.

Would something like this be what you're recommending?

The charger and battery can be found on amazon for much cheaper and together they add up to about $34 so he would only need a dollar more of something to get free shipping if he doesn't have prime.

Charger shipped from Amazon

Battery from Battery Superstore

Battery superstore is very reliable for batteries if the battery doesn't work for any reason they will replace it.

The savings from this will bring the price under budget

Would this be a good battery? I'll be sure to pick up a couple extra mags just to be safe, and those rail covers. Thank you for the info!
