Real Sword Type 56 Battery compatibility.

MrEvolution · October 15th, 2009, 19:50

Hello Folks.

Is anyone else suffering from the issue of 9.6V stick batteries not fitting under the top cover of your Type 56? Im using the RS branded 9.6V 2000mah battery from ehobby.

Strangely, the G&P 9.6V 2200mah is too wide to fit in the gun.

I was also just told that 8.4's arent fitting either.

I run a Sanyo 8.4 ,it has a flat strap instead of a wire running the length of the battery.That wire is what keeps it from fitting in the gas tube .

Yep, thats why my G&P Battery isnt fitting. What about the RS Battery? It has the flat strap like yours which is strange.

I haven't seen the RS one.A buddy said this was the battery to get if I wanted the 56 and

that's the one I got.It's still a tight fit and my battery only goes in one way. The strap has to be a 7 oclock ,inside the tube mine has a notch cut at that position for the strap

( It looks that way to me ).

Hmmm, well according to some its best to "cram it in, charge it inside the gun, works fine."
We shall see.

A friend of mine uses the 9.6 intellect I believe.

I use 9.6 intelects. In the gas tube there is a little slot cut out. Thats where I run the wire on the side of the battery when putting the battery in. Try Pm'ing Bandit because he just had a similar problem and he had to rotate the part inside the gas tube with the slot so it lined up right.

My teammate had this issue last game, turns out you just need to shove the stick battery in with some force and it will fit.

You can fit up to a 12V battery or a 9.6V stick made with 4/5A cells without a problem. It is tricky to insert though. You need to line up the wire on the side of the battery just right with the slot in the gas tube and it requires a bit of force to insert.

I've read some reports online that the edges of the gas tube and the notch have some burrs on some T56s, and owners will dremel the edges a bit to smooth it to make the batteries easier to insert. I personally run a 9.6V Intellect battery. I inserted it into the gun and just leave it there. It was tight, but it fits. I charge the battery in the gun.

Yep shes in there now, and probably wont come out :P Now if I can just figure out how to place the connectors so the tray will close...

Has anyone taken the Mechbox out of that gun before?

The wires aren't ran correctly...

You can insert the battery MUCH farther than that. An 8.4V will fit into the gas tube pretty much completely. And from the look of that pic, it looks like the wire on the side of the battery is not aligned in the notch in the gas tube at all. That's more than likely why you're having troubles inserting it.

Amos: gun has never been opened as far as I know.

Crunchy: Crap. More adjusting required I guess.
Edit: OK the spine is definitely not on the bottom when I thought it was...Yay.

MrEvolution · October 16th, 2009, 13:27

I quit.

this battery REFUSES to go in on any angle. The outer plastic packing is ripped, and now the spine is starting to shave itself on the inside of the gun. Now I get to spend MORE money on Lipo stuff (if the gun can take it)

Just look down into the gas tube and you can see the notch. Even better, just remove the gas tube and inspect it out of the gun. The notch in the gas tube should be about the 7 oclock mark. You're damaging your battery by installing it wrong. And yes, you've probably fucked up your battery doing that.
