Hey, i just had a few questions. i tried to look for them in the old threads but i didnt find any...they might be dum, but hey i want my angel 2 last, and i have questions and u ppl have answers.... thxs guys...

wanted to know if the battery has 2 be drained all the way 2 b charged again...

can it be charging and at the same time be shoooting ...

how many shots will it last,,, does it go down with time....

under what circumstances would i have 2 talk the battery out...

does the entire e-frame ever have 2 be opened 4 anything,, IF so for wat ....

also wouldnt it be best to get rechargable batteries for the hoppers? doesnt tha cost alot...?

well...:scratchhe , thats all i can think of now... ill post anything else later...thxs for the support...

It depends on the kind of battery for a lot of thoes questions. The newer Ni-MH batteries dont have memory so it doesnt matter if you dont run the battery all the way down. If you dont do that to the other batteries it will make the battery last for less time and not charge as much because of its memory. The battery does not have to be drained to be charged. I dont know why you would want to charge it and shoot it at the same time but I dont think you can because it interupts the recharge process. It lasts 350,00 consecutive shots on a 3-4 hour recharge and 16,000 shots if charged for only one hour. If you wanted to replace the batterie you need to take it out. The frame does need to be opened to switch mods, to adjust the trigger, to attach the cabel for intelfeeds, and many other things. You could just get an intelfeed and that would eliminate battaries in your hopper forever. If you dont want to do that then u can get the rechargable ones but I dont see the point it doesnt add up to that much in my opinion. Rechargeing them is just one more thing to remember.


And yes this is the longest post I have writen so far on this sight.

the NiMh battery no, the NiCad battery yes. How do you know which one you've got..if you've got a yellow pull tab it's definitly the NiCad, if the marker is a 2k1 or later it should be the NiMh.

can it be charging and at the same time be shoooting ...
nope

how many shots will it last,,, does it go down with time....
you should get at least 15k out of a full charge. You should easily be able to rip through at good 10+ cases with no problems, probably more unless you just like to have a good full battery.


under what circumstances would i have 2 talk the battery out... never, unless there is a problem with it and you need to replace it.

does the entire e-frame ever have 2 be opened 4 anything,, IF so for wat .... the only time you need to open the Angel Grip frame is to adjust your dwell, and change modes. You do however have to fully remove the grip frame from the body in order to make trigger adjustments.

also wouldnt it be best to get rechargable batteries for the hoppers? doesnt tha cost alot...? rechargeable are rechargeables...if you're going to go with rechargeables then you might as well invest in a decent set, preferably NiMh ones.

!! thnxs EMMIT!! u also WDP CHILD, thnxs... this site kicks a$$!! iv learned so much in like the last few weeks since iv been a member! yeaa :).... but dont worry it wont b long b4 i do something else with the angel that'll make me post for help... thnxs again..

How much do NiMH rechargables go for?

well i didnt charge it for 3 days, on the fourth day i did. but i got 44,954 shots without charging, so thats pretty cool. i just have 2 get the allen wrenches to open it up...

[Emmit]

well figure that the 44k you got was 22 cases...that's pretty good. I don't see you shooting 22 cases in that short of a period of time EVER! So figure if you play every single weekend that you'll want to charge it every other month or something.

well actually i shot 11,000+ in total testing paint for tcpaintballs. it was HEAVEN on earth, i just got my angel and had unlimited air+paint.. we had 2 do reviews on one bag out of each box, and the rest was to shooooot !!!! and we toook alot of paint home...

but my freind prolly shot 7k with his cocker. i dont think he coudlve shot as many as me, plus he was trying to get me 2 stop just incase we couldve taken the rest of the paint home... i recorded alot of 15 sec clips of us ripping , with 2k2 angel, 2k3 vert cocker, strange vision, a-5(suckkks big bricks).. so ill get them up as soon as my freind finds the digital camera. but at the end of the day it started to become loose inside .. the board and lcd.. so yea. im sure 11k shots would do that. and my drop forward also came loose, i took it off and didnt tightn it properly but thats nothing big. im using a 91/4500 , too big for it... and EMMIT, wat do u mean that if i play every weekend id have 2 charge it every OTHER month? i mean,,... i dont know if its bad or not , but i normally click 10k shots in 1 day just walking around my house trying 2 improve my walk. which obviosuly isnt going to happen in one day but iv seen improvements...

DWELL 14 MROF 20

Highest ROF 13

RIGHT HAND 6-12-03

TIME ROF SHOTS
1 min 11 367
1 min 11 396
1 min 10 391
1 min 12 382
1 min 12 381

all of these are with the angel alone, no air no balls no barrel, so it'd change a lil with the rest of the equipment on. and i have reached 15 ROF after just 3 days,,, that only happend once, i reach 14 more often , but my average id say is 11-12-13 ...

smart.....well I don't sit at home and just pull on my trigger, but I do practice with my team every weekend and I shoot about a case and half each practice. I usually charge my Angel about once every other month to make sure it's got a full charge on it, don't want it dying in the middle of a game on me and ruining the rest of my day of practice.

ohh n/m emmit, i understand what u mean. yea that makes sense... srrrrry .. haha, but yea, testing paint was heaven on earth, i just had 2 fill a paper with information of each bag,, and the BEST paint was the fresh paint, right out of the factory , i seriosuly saw it much much better... i got a clip of us shooting it.. ill upload them soon..

[smartLCD]
