I am getting the CYMA Thompson in the mail, and it has the stock battery, well from my N64p to my airsoft guns and in between I like to get the best NiMH Batteries I can. I used google, and the search function on this site and dint find alot, but could this battery fit in my Thompson? www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2797EDIT: Rather then make two posts, ill combine this one. I want a vertical foregrip in my CYMA thompson
But does it hurt or weaken the integrity of the barrel? And if not where can I find a wooden one, not a kit just the grip

If you remove the hard foam block from inside the butt stock, you should be able to fit that battery. However, it has a large connector. Your gun, unless its been modified, will have a small connector. Also, consider going to a 9.6 volt battery. It will increase your rate of fire appreciably (but not your fps). The internals of the Thompson can take the extra volts. Its a common thing to do.

and it wont fry the motor, or decrease its gun's lifespan? and the 9.6v battery could still fit?

Generally speaking, there is nothing harmful with putting a 9.6 volt battery in a Thompson. As I said earlier, it is a very common practice. When you are looking for a 9.6 volt battery (whether its a small battery or large), make sure you get one with a small connector. This can be problematic with the large type batterys as they normally come with a large connector.
FYI-batterys with a mah rating of about 1600 or less are typically small batterys. Small batterys typically come with a small connector. Batterys above 1600 mah are usually large type batterys and typically have large connectors. The battery in the picture you referenced was a large battery. Your gun will probably come with a small battery.

The gun does have a small battery. In my M16 before I sold it I resoldered the battery connector and put in a large 7.2v battery in it. So that is not a problem for me

I would not recommend a 9.6v battery it fried TWO of my thompson, if it works now later on you will be screwed.

I've used a 2000 mAh 9.6V in my Marui tommy for 4 years and never changed a thing.

Concerning your search for a vertical fore grip for the Thompson, check out this thread: ww2aa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=news&action=display&thread=5485On the second page of posts you'll find some information from me on availability of the grip and some considerations you'll need to make. To answer you other question about the grip, I suppose the case can be made that the vertical grip may allow more force (torsional and torque) to be exerted on the mounting bar beneath the barrel. Another consideration!
