i think it was the humidity (80%) and the battery was prob garbage. im just glad i got it out in time XP

BS to humidity! We've played plenty in 100% humidity and full on downpours! (one of which became sideways rain because of the tornado...)

+1, we played in some 30+mm of rain at claybank, running NiCd, NiMH and LiPo. Didn't hear about anyone frying a battery
Infact, you can actually submerge an AEG, and it won't set the battery off

guess i just got a shyte batt then. its not the gun. i know for sure. went to staging area, opened everything up, inspected, put in spare batt. worked perfect.

Ive had a Brand New Sanyo Jbatt (P90) go up in flames out of the box.

Wiring or modifications has nothing to do with why I cautioned against it.
Batterys CAN and WILL fail at one point or another. End of story.

This is exactly why I did not reccomend it.

and man, im glad i listened

there's a first for everything. you just happen to listen to the right advice. :D

i tip my hat to you sir
