    Time to refresh this thread. I'm in the market for a new battery for some lowers I just bought. I always disliked how big the battery is on Emag lowers. So has anyone made any progress on a new battery option? I'm not an engineer, but I work with a few. My co-workers had a few ideas, but nothing that hasn't already been said.

    So now my question is could we just get a company to custom make a new battery pack for us Emag owners? I found these 2 websites that might be helpful:

    The Online Battery Store at Battery Giant Stocks Replacement Batteries For Any Electronic Device. Find Batteries From All The Top Top Manufacturers, Enjoy Free Shipping on Orders of $50 Dollars or More. Battery Giant Retail Store Franchise Opportunities Available.




    If we just gave either of these companies the specs of what we need couldn't they just make a new battery?

      ive been doing some searching of lipo batteries out there with like 1000 mah, which is more then we need.
      and the back are sizably bigger then the current battery housing,

      so I have been looking for new options on sizes but none that can be custom made yet.
      im actually going out tomorrow to a guy to see if he can help.

        There is a custom battery shop near me.I will take my emag there and let them see what can be done as far as a new battery and charger set up.they are able to do custom packs to whatever voltage required. I'll try to go this weekend if I can.

          so im a little fuzzy.
          will the lipo 4S(4 cell) battery with a high C rating work in a emag ?(Atomas I think this is you knowledge base)

          if so I may have what we need. or can at least get ahold of it.

          what is the minimum Mah (milliamp hours) that is desired?

          hit me up asap on this so I can let people know what I can get my hands on, without having my guys come up with a custom pack, that no one will be able to buy reasonably.

              Does anyone have the specs needed for an Emag battery? I have been looking and either I'm blind or they are harder to find then I imagined. Also would any of these new batteries work:

                no none of them would work unless you some how make a reusable encasement for the AAA battery cells.
                I tried printing a skin to encase the AAA batteries and have the proper connections inserted in the right places. but the first attempt I got a power outage on my outlet, and the printer stoped printing no power no print.
                and I jump back onto the trimag project.

                  In the end I'll probably make myself a new battery housing for the LiPo pack, seems like there are too many trade-offs trying to get something that matches the stock housing.

                  hey sk8ermog and KNM did you guys get a chance to read this post? has the specs your looking for and even the battery packs that will work.

                    I know, i know, bringing back the dead. I was just wondering has anyone one of you geniuses come up with an alternative option?

                      I'm gonna bring this zombie back up to ask if anyone has the gumption to go where my battery knowledge fails, and point to something that wasn't available way back in 2013/2014, being a new, lightweight battery that's drop-in-capable to replace the bulky, heavy Emag NiMH battery packs.

                      I sure hope so... my warpless rotor is getting closer to completion and this would be the last thing I could do to lighten up my E-Tac. Everything else is pretty milled out.

                            There are lots of small and inexpensive battery packs available now. Just get a 5S pack that will fit inside the emag battery holder. Better yet, have a lighter milled design that will bolt onto the existing battery top, and fit the new LiPo pack sizes. Any LiPo battery charger will charge the pack and they are inexpensive as well.
                            Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                              I think my primary problem is finding a 5S pack that's thin enough to fit in the emag battery well.
