Evolution lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over Li-Po (lithium polymer) batteries when used in airsoft replicas. Here's a comparison of the main advantages of lithium-ion batteries over Li-Po:

1. Longer life

Lithium-ion batteries tend to have a longer life than Li-Po batteries. They are more resistant to degradation over time and during charge cycles, offering greater longevity, which means fewer battery replacements.

2. Higher energy capacity

Lithium-ion batteries of the same size have a higher energy density, which means they can store more energy and power a replica for longer periods than a Li-Po battery of a similar size. This is an advantage for airsoft players who need long-lasting power without frequent battery changes.

3. Increased safety

Lithium-ion batteries are generally more stable and safer than Li-Po batteries. Li-Po batteries require more rigorous maintenance, as they can swell or even explode if improperly charged or discharged. Lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, are less prone to these problems and are safer to use and charge.

4. Less maintenance

Lithium-ion batteries require less maintenance than Li-Po batteries. Li-Po batteries need to be closely monitored to prevent them from over-discharging or swelling, and they need to be charged to specific voltages to prevent damage. Lithium-ion batteries are more tolerant of variations in voltage and discharge, making them easier for users to manage.

5. Temperature resistance

Lithium-ion batteries tend to perform better at lower temperatures than Li-Po batteries. This can be an advantage for players who play outdoors in cold conditions, where Li-Po batteries can experience a drop in performance or deteriorate more quickly.

Understanding battery power:

When comparing lithium-ion and Li-Po batteries, it's essential to focus on power measured in watts, not just voltage. Lithium-ion batteries have a much higher energy density than standard Li-Po batteries, which means that a 7.4V lithium-ion battery can easily deliver much more power than an 11.1V Li-Po of the same size. We're talking here about the power delivered to the motor, not just the number of BBs the replica can fire.

For ease of understanding, all Evolution lithium-ion batteries clearly display the power output in watts/hour on the battery label, giving players an immediate understanding of the actual power output. This helps players choose the right battery for their performance needs, without relying on voltage values alone.

For example: the power of the Evolution 7.4V 5000 mAh lithium-ion battery is 37 Wh, while the power of an 11.1V 2000 mAh Li-Po battery of similar size and design is limited to just 22.2 Wh. This means that, even though the voltage is only 7.4V, the performance and rate of fire produced will be significantly higher than that of an 11.1V Li-Po.

The Wh value is obtained using this simple formula: Volt x Ah.
