Simon sent in some interesting news yesterday regarding a new product from SOCOM Gear.  Their new LiPo batteries are developed specifically for AEGs and Airsoft usage, and are not re-branded R/C batteries.

These batteries are touted as “HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LESS HAZARDOUS”, and are available in 11.1V and 7.4V configurations, with mAH ranging from 1000mAH to 1500mAH.  Although they are claimed to be less hazardous, they still ask retailers to have customers sign a waiver included in every box.

Is there a difference between these and say, Firefox LiPo batteries?  We’re looking to get some in and give them a try, so we’ll see for ourselves.
