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

You should get between 300-500 max usuable charge cycles out of a Nicad before you run into condition problems. Your gun will pack it in or be gone long before that happens. There is nothing wrong with using a Nicad pack. Nimh is good as well.

Like Kid says, stick to 8.4v. The ROF with a 9.6 is just too high with the obviously High Speed Gears they use in this gun. You'll likely pack it in prematurely with 9.6v.
