The Evolution Lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over Li-Po (lithium polymer) batteries when used in airsoft replicas. Here is a comparison of the key benefits of lithium-ion batteries versus Li-Po:
1. Longer Lifespan
Lithium-ion batteries tend to have a longer lifespan compared to Li-Po batteries. They are more resistant to degradation over time and through charge cycles, offering greater longevity, which means fewer battery replacements.
2. Higher Energy Capacity
For the same size, Lithium-ion batteries offer a higher energy density, meaning they can store more energy and power a replica for longer periods compared to a similar-sized Li-Po battery. This is an advantage for airsoft players who need longer-lasting power without the need to change batteries.
3. Increased Safety
Lithium-ion batteries are generally more stable and safer compared to Li-Po batteries. Li-Po batteries require more careful maintenance, as they can swell or even explode if improperly charged or discharged. Lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, are less prone to these issues and provide greater safety during use and charging.
4. Less Maintenance
Lithium-ion batteries require less maintenance than Li-Po batteries. Li-Po batteries need to be closely monitored to ensure they do not over-discharge or swell, and they must be charged at specific voltages to prevent damage. Lithium-ion batteries are more tolerant of voltage variations and discharge, making them easier to manage for users.
5. Temperature Resistance
Lithium-ion batteries tend to perform better at lower temperatures compared to Li-Po batteries. This can be an advantage for players who play outdoors in cold weather conditions, where Li-Po batteries may experience performance drops or deteriorate more quickly.
Understanding the battery power:
When comparing Lithium Ion and Li-Po batteries, it's crucial to focus on the power measured in Watt, not just the voltage. Lithium Ion batteries have a much higher energy density than standard Li-Po batteries, meaning a 7.4V Li-Ion battery can easily deliver much more power than an 11.1V Li-Po of the same size. We're talking about the power supplied to the motor, not just the number of BB's the gun can shoot.
To make it easier to understand, all Evolution Lithium Ion batteries clearly display the power in Watt/hour right on the battery label, providing players with an immediate understanding of the actual power output. This helps players choose the right battery based on their performance needs, without relying solely on voltage values.
Example: The power of the Evolution Lithium Ion 7.4V 5000 mAh is 37Wh while the power of a 11.1V 2000 mAh of the same size and design is limited to just 22.2Wh, that means that even if the Voltage is just 7.4v the performance and the rate of fire produced will be greatly higher than the 11.1V Li-Po.
The Wh value is obtnained with this easy formula: Volt x Ah
