Rule of thumb when you don't have a low voltage monitor/alarm is to stop using a battery when your gun STARTS to act sluggish.  That usually puts me at about 3.5v from experience.

Just remember a LiPo will go from sluggish to dead VERY quickly.  If the ROF starts to plummet...stop using the battery!.

Technically it is out of spec.  15c 1400 mAh about the limit of the recommendation for an 11.1 v LiPo.

Although I am not recommending you try this but I have even used 11.1v lipos that had 30C 2200mah for a year in my SR10  without issues.  But you do need to check your trigger contacts once in awhile.

we went rom buckings to battery's.....


but either way there is no reason to over pay for shipping or a LIPO battery..


the outfit we list on this site all the time has fast delivery, cheap price and low shipping.   but all he does is battery's..

these fit in the front or rear stocks of KWA's

http://www.eliteairs...ttery-pack.aspx

flip a couple pages for the 11.1 volts.....  less than $15.....

if you have a crane stock you just call and he will make the one for that too.
