Just got my Hexagon Ppsh and it recommends LiPo.
I have read the 'EYNTK' thread but still need talking into shelling out for a whole new battery system.
What change will it make to my 'airsoft experience'?
So for this Gunman weekend in Feb, I'd usually take 4 1200/1400mAh NiMh. One per day plus a spare per day. If I invest in LiPo tech what would I need?
Is it a straight drop in for my other AEGs?

I've only ever used a NiMh 1500Mah 8.4v mini battery in mine. Lasted all day at Op Sealion. ROF was pretty good. Thinking about LiPo but not sure I can justify the expense.
I'm very much in transition with my batteries. I generally take 2 lipos and some spare nimhs....
I don't usually get through a single lipo to be honest.
I certainly shan't be buying any more nimhs.
In my experience a NiMh 8.4v mini gives a higher ROF in that gun than Lipo 7.4v does.

I'm not too worried about RoF, limited ammo and all that and the manual recommends 11.1v LiPo anyway.

I run a large 3300 mah 20c 7.4 lipo in my Ares PPSh, complete with energy wasting blowback and I did the Ground Zero Weekender blatfest with it last year, absolutely no problem, and must have gone through 5000 + rounds. I'm a fan, however should you justify the expense of the changeover? Not really. I personally do a lot of airsoft and the batteries last longer, if you only play 6 games a year then only consider a changeover when your batteries fail or when the reason for changing justifies the expense.
The big payoff with LiPo packs is energy density. For a given size of pack, you will get a lot more mAh in a LiPo pack than in an NiMH pack - not to mention that you can buy LiPo packs in a huge variety of sizes, therefore making it possibly to get a pack inside very small spaces. Add in to that the discharge rating of a LiPo pack can be a *lot* higher than for a NiMH pack (NiMH is roughly 1.2C per cell) and LiPo is the way forward. If you don't understand discharge rates, have a look at the guide at the top of this section of the forum, hopefully should make things a bit easier to understand.
