Battery Ram – Power Your Game The Battery Ram LiPo, Li-Ion, and NiMH type batteries are a mix of power and intelligence, because they have been produced in close cooperation with the manufacturer to be just the right fit for airsoft guns. Battery Ram was born out of our desire to give the airsoft community a battery with a “player-to-player” principle. We are extremely proud of these batteries, because their price-quality ratio makes them, if not the best battery on the market, at least one of the them. The Battery Ram batteries were released on the glorious hundredth anniversary of Finland’s independence 2017 (Li-Ions in 2020), so the colors of the batteries are blue and white as in the Finnish flag. These colors also represent the battery type: in NiMH type batteries the shrink wrap is blue and in lithium type batteries it is white. So turn on the Finlandia hymn and start shopping! Check out Battery Ram’s official website: www.battery-ram.com Li-Ion Li-Ion, aka Li-On, batteries offer the same benefits as LiPo batteries in the convenient shape and easy operation of NiMH batteries! The straight bar like shape is better for many airsoft guns (looking at you, crane stocks, buffer tubes and AK receiver covers) but the benefits are not limited to the shape only: unlike LiPos, Li-Ions don’t suffer from bulging and are a tad bit sturdier. During the manufacturers quality controls, Li-Ion batteries endured discharge currents of 20 amperes for twice as long as LiPos did! Li-Ions are charged with the same battery chargers as LiPos. Small C-rate, help? Don’t fret! C-rate is only a part of the equation, as battery capacity affects the actual discharge current as well. In other words, the real discharge current is the battery’s capacity in ampere hours times the discharge rate (C-rate). If the battery capacity is 2500 mAh and C-rate is 8/12, then the constant discharge current is 20 amperes and the burst discharge current is 30 amperes. The discharge rates of this battery are found in the tech table below. Ipso facto, for regular AEGs we recommend Li-Ion batteries with the capacity of 2500 mAh and for tuned up AEGs we recommend Li-Ion or LiPo batteries with the capacity of 5000 mAh! Six months of warranty The Battery Ram products are always granted a six-month warranty. In practice this means that if your battery breaks within six months from the date of purchase, we either fix it or replace it. You should note, however, that in long-term use the batteries wear like any other product, so a heavily used battery might necessarily not be broken, even if it does not deliver as new. The warranty does not cover normal wear or misuse. Further information about batteries and their operation Do you know what is the difference between a LiPo and a nickel battery? How about the C value and discharge current? Why does a LiPo battery bulge? You can find the answers to these and many other questions in our Tradetech airsoft database by reading the 101 Airsoft battery article article! Does your gun have a Tamiya mini or an unknown battery connector? Tamiya connectors have traditionally been used in airsoft guns and batteries, even though their electrical conductivity is often not enough in constant use. On the contrary, the Deans plug, or T connector, is the most common energy efficient connector type for airsoft guns, as it provides much better conductivity compared to Tamiya connectors. When you are purchasing a battery or airsoft gun, you always need to make sure to have a compatible connector on both ends. Depending on your situation, you have a few options to choose from: A) Install a Deans connector to your gun and use batteries with Deans T plugs (most energy efficient): We offer installation services at fixed prices for electric guns (AEGs) purchased from us and other sources. B) Get a compatible battery adapter (Deans male -> Tamiya mini female) between the battery and gun: If your gun has a Tamiya mini connector and you have Deans batteries, you can connect them with a separate battery adapter. This way you also keep it easy for yourself to switch to the more energy efficient Deans connectors in the future. Note! When purchasing a Battery Ram Deans battery from us, we offer a compatible Deans-Tamiya mini battery adapter for a special bundle price - make sure to order the special bundle package on our web shop to redeem the offer! C) Install a Tamiya mini connector to your battery: You may also install a compatible Tamiya mini female connector to your battery to avoid using a separate battery adapter. However, in this case you will need to replace all Tamiya connectors on your gun and batteries, if you later decide to start using Deans connectors instead. We provide installation services for Tamiya mini connectors at the same price as their Deans counterparts, for both batteries and guns. We will add cost of installation to your order manually and charge you separately after the work is done. Note! If you purchase batteries or guns with and without installation in the same order, please remember to specify the products requiring installation services in the additional order comments. The installation may postpone the delivery time by one working day. Battery usage and safety manual as a PDF
