ICS sent in news that they're releasing Li-Polymer batteries. We're not sure though if this is going to be included in ICS AEG packages, but we're definitely sure that these batteries should give more juice to the AEG and at a higher voltage, a higher ROF that may just send you off to the moon. ICS is putting its name on Li-Poly batteries which means the recognition of this battery type by a major airsoft manufacturer.
