Careful! LiPos typically have low discharge rates. The greatest one I saw was a 2000 mAh with a 6C discharge capacity, meaning it could put out six times its mAh rating or 12 amps continuously. Last time I tested my stock TM AK it drew 16 amps in full auto on 7.2V (higher voltages will = less current draw). With lithium batteries, drawing more amps than they can provide = BAD.

If anyone knows of a LiPo that can discharge 20 amps continuously I'd be very interested to know about it! Been interested in the technology and would like to see it applied to airsoft.
