The slim stick shape fits many battery compartments where flat packs won't, and the 16 AWG silicone lead with a Mini Tamiya female plug makes hookup easy for hobbyists and weekend racers. Before ordering, compare the pack's 20.6mm diameter and 200mm length to your gun or car's battery bay to ensure a proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will each battery run in an average airsoft gun?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuntime depends on your gun's current draw and firing mode. In typical AEG setups drawing moderate current, a 1600mAh pack will supply usable shots for a session, while higher rates of fire or motor strain shorten runtime. Use the discharge rate and your gun's amp draw to estimate practical runtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapacity: 1600mAh gives a baseline charge amount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDischarge rate: 10C limits peak sustained output for motors and electronics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVoltage: steady 8.4V across the pack under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActual runtime varies with fire mode, motor condition, and gear ratio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fast-charge these batteries and how long does charging take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emelasta NiMH cells accept both standard and rapid charging; recommended rates are provided for safe use. Charging at 160mA (standard) takes roughly 15 hours to reach full capacity, while a higher 1600mA rapid charge shortens the time to about 1.1 hours.

The melasta stick measures 20.6mm in diameter and 200mm long; weight is roughly 160g per pack.
