2. What is a "Battery Bag" used for? I see that I should get a battery AND a battery bag?
3. if I got a LiPo battery, any recommendations for a charger?
Thank you very much ASC'ers

1. Can you expand on what you mean by "so many"? There are generally lots of lipos with different voltages but the main selling point is the amperage that is specifically for airsoft as well as the shape for tight compartments depending on your gun.
2. Battery bag is a bag that is made out of a flame-resistant material that prevents your battery from burning down your property in the event it becomes chemically unstable due to age or charging behaviour. They are recommended for long term storage when you do not game and don't want to burn down your house due to how volatile these batteries can be in different environments e.g. heat and moisture.
3. Buy a lipo-battery from an RC shop. As of 2017 i no longer recommend hobbyking as a battery supplier because they ship via fedex and all their warehouses are in the US. This means that you have to pay fedex $20~ for duties and customs which can EASILY be the cost of a single battery. If possible, try to buy in-country or visit your local RC shop who can order it for you for about the same cost $40-50 depending on the battery type.
