I use a 7.2 volt 3000mah battery in my stock Tm AK, works very well actually.
I will be ordering 2 more and making two 8.4V 3000mah batteries, one spare and one in the gun, I will also be using Steel bushings and an M120 spring, this is as far as I'd push any stock gun, who knows if I wont end up getting all upgraded components.

Using any 9.6V in a stock AEG is just asking for trouble, you must understand that there is a tremendous amount of pressure on the mexhbox as is, now if you add more voltage to the equation then the components wont be able to take the extra load and will slowly start giving out, first being all the weaker things like plastic or nylon bushings, and then teeth on the gears, then the motor and cylinder components.
An AEG is designed to cycle at a certain rate, the added voltageincreases the cycle rate meaning a faster RPM this will wear things out faster.
