Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Brand New CA M15A4 CQB, should I go with 8.4v or 9.6v?

First, I have read through ALMOST ALL threads about the pros and cons of batteries on this forum. I have also read through ALL of the CA M15A4 series threads using the search function.

From what I have gathered, it is wise to go with an 8.4 Volt for standard guns to not overstress the internals. As well, capacities beyond 2400 mAH are not really required.

I have found a decent 8.4V/2400 mAH battery here:

there is also a 9.6 V equivalent.

My question is to those with experience with the redesigned CA M15's such as the CQB what have all-reinforced parts. Are these guns designed to operate at 9.6 V due to said enhancements, or should I still play it safe and stick to the TM 8.4V standard?

I understand their is remarkable ROF with the 9.6 V, does anyone have experience with using both and can tell me approx how much slower the cyclic rate is?

Most importantly, have people been bringing in these guns to smiths with excessive internal wear from longterm 9.6 v battery use?

An intangible factor at this time ( my gun is in the mail right now) would be that the is a shorter battery and would accomodate more crane stock travel....comments?

Thanks for your replys
