I have an Aftermath Broxa Evolution MP5 (AR whatever) and I just got it today after Canada Post took their sweet time getting to me. The 8.2v 1200mAh battery seems to not work. Now I did charge it as per the usual deal with a new gun and battery for 5 hours using their charger they sent with the gun.

Now I called Aftermath (GAMO) directly and gave their tech guy my problem. I went through steps with him that had no effect. He told me he could nothing for me. What a surprise.

Now I thought of maybe trying my 7.2v 1500mAh battery from my DPMS in it because it's a lower voltage and still has some charge in it. I plugged it in as they're the same connectors and it fired a few shots before stopping altogether.

I'm wondering if this is just a battery issue or what? I can send it back to Cabelas where I bought it from paying 30-ish dollars for shipping that won't be refunded and will take God knows how long to get back or buy a new battery possibly.

My question for the Gun Doc is this: If my 7.2v 1500mAh battery gets it working, is this a battery issue as simple as the 8.2v being defective or could there still be an issue inside of the gun?

Thanks in advance for your help oh Airsoft Gurus.
