was board battery life sucks?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is it just me or does the battery life on the WAS board totally suck... Its been on maybe around 13-14 hours max total and after I shot the gun with CO2 it started blinking red... 

Weird thing is I shot it again afterwards with no CO2 attachment and it didnt blink red after I shot more than twice as much as when I had CO2.

Questions:
-how many shots do I have left once the gun starts blinking red
-Is the only other board available for the a5 the rampage board? (I don't like the 15 bps minimum and the fact that I will have to upgrade my cyclone feed)

	Mine usually lasts quite a while. You may want to switch to a lithium battery. you can get the rechargeable ones and that will give you alot of battery power. All in all that probably isnt a bad amount of time for battery life. That is alot of play and I am betting many other guns have even less. I have never timed mine but I just buy the cheapo 9v that are $1 for 2 and they last plenty of time for me. Try the lithium first though... it would be alot cheaper than a new board.
	Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

	Well i have used mine over 3 weekends already, i fired more than 3000 rounds already, once i left the battery on for a couple of hours without using. Yet im still using the same battery, i dont know how long is supposed to run for but i can tell you it goes for a while. Check the wires and see if you are not cliping any with the battery of any other part of the gun. Mine the first day stopped working and it gave me a solid red light and it was the battery cables were being clipped, there would be no power going to the e-grip. Weird i know but anyways give it a try, remember the cables go ontop of the battery, when you take the e-grip off the marker you should be able to see the cables (all of them) on top of the battery, just like it shows you on the manual ;-)
