AEG life expectancy
Most well set up aegs will be reliable for years with the only thing requiring maintenance is the hop bucking, if even that
11.1 lipos on a non mosfet or even some "listed as" 11.1 lipo ready are hard on the components. Particularly the trigger contacts, brushes and stator. The motor itself at times getting so hot some players can't hold the grip
Wire guage and quality of the wire is also an issue. It's like trying to blow water through a straw to put out a raging fire with small guage wire and a powerful battery
Proper gearbox shimming and ball bearing components at the piston head and spring guide also help reduce load on the battery. They type of spring and gear set can also determine what type of current draw is being requested of the battery through the motor
There's a lot going on in an AEG and all these things work hand in hand
With some thought, plenty of research and reasonable demands placed on its components by the user you can also have go to aegs that will run and gun for years
