I bought an AEG a while ago as an accessory for my firearm for fun and cheap, quiet practice. Now ammo is mostly unavailable and what can be found is hideously expensive so it looks like it's going to be airsoft or nothing till the market stabilizes.
I bought an ok AEG but I know the batteries and charger aren't the best. The charger is some cheesey trickle charger and the batteries are just 1500mah NiCd packs. What's interesting is the AEG runs on 8.4v. That gave me the idea that I could run the gun on 2 18650's for an almost 50% boost to capacity and compatibility with the kinds of batteries I'm already using and recharging with my flashlights. I like simple and I like easy.
So, is there any reason this wouldn't work?
