Best Answer

In any electrical device, feeding an amount of voltage which is greater than what it was intended to use is prone to causing damage to it. If your airsoft gun came with a 1.2v battery, it was designed to be fed from a 1.2v current, and placing an 8.4v battery in it will cause it to feed from a current seven times greater than what it was intended to use. This creates a risk of overloading the motor, which, for electric motors, typically causes it to burn out. This creates heat, naturally, which can also have the effect of melting down the materials used to manufacture your airsoft gun (as far as I know, they're mostly made of plastics), which will render it not only inoperable, but also damage it beyond repair.

So, the short answer would be no, and you should use only the recommended battery for your airsoft gun.

If you use a higher voltage battery, you will temporarily gain a higher fire rate from your gun, untill it breaks down from overworking the motor.

Does the double eagle m83 electric airsoft gun come with a battery?

Yes, it comes with a 9.6 volt lipo battery, which sounds cool, but it's not a very good battery performance-wise. It will power the M83, though.


Does a 9.6volt battery ruin an airsoft gun?

Yes, because the stock battery is 8.4 volts, and yours is 9.6. So, if you put in that battery you have, it should still work, but maybe shorten the life of the motor, which is easy to replace


Does a 62 volkswagen need a 12 volt battery or a 6?

The 1964 VW Beetle came from the factory with a 6 volt electrical system. Unless it has been upgraded to a 12 volt system you would need a 6 volt battery. I would recommend you check the voltage of the current battery with a volt meter. If there is no battery in the vehicle, just remove a light bulb and check the voltage written on the bulb.


Where can someone purchase a 12 volt battery charger online?

12 volt battery charges are available from a variety of different websites from many different companies. They can be purchased from websites such as Harbor Freight and Amazon.


Can a 5 volt 1.4 amp charger be used to charge a 5 volt 1 amp battery?

Yes. A battery draws what it needs from the charger, the charger does not force current into the battery. The voltage spec. is the same. Things would be different if you were to try to charge a five volt battery with a ten volt charger. You would probably blow the battery. Hope this helps.


Can you use a 9.6 volt DC drill battery to extend the life of a standard 9 volt DC electronic item?

no, a 9 volt battery is small (goes in a smoke detector) a 9.6 volt battery is much larger, and it is not a DC battery (direct current) but NiCd (nickel cadmium.) two totally different things.

Should a Low Battery warning light come on as the battery reaches a critical low point?

When our 93 grand prix battery light came on it meant that we needed a new battery. We tested the battery with a volt meter and the battery read 1 volt, it should be 12volts. Still wondering how to reset the battery light?
