    I have a 9.6v in my MP5K. You have have to modify things a little, but it can be done.

    You take out the charging handle assembly, chop it down 1 cells length and reinstall, a bit of black paint or tape on the end of the battery looks well too as it will be exposed.

    Heres a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK-bgKQK2Co Havn't done it myself though.

    And since were on the subject of 9.6v batteries, the point where the bevel and spur gear meet exploded into two halves. Classic army though:rolleyes:
