Spyder Electra DX Recharging the Battery After Initial Use


A fully charged battery will provide about 8000-12000 shots in normal use. The actual shots will depend on the Spyder Electra DX paintball markers and the type of use. Due to the characteristics of the NiMH battery, it won't be necessary to completely drain the battery before recharging it. So, you can charge the battery any time you want and the time needed to the full charge will depend on how much energy is left in the battery. The more energy left in the battery, the sooner it will achieve a full charge.

Spyder Electra DX Operation Guide

  1. Put the marker on 'SAFE' by pushing the on/off switch to the right. The marker is now off. To power on the Spyder Electra DX paintball marker, push the on/off switch to the left. CAUTION: with the power on, the electronic circuit board is now powered on and ready to shoot.

  2. Cock the marker by pulling the Cocking Knob (#39D) rearward until it latches. Caution: if you let go before it latches, your marker may fire.

  3. Tighten the air tank until it is snug. If a leak occurs between the tank and the C/A adapter, replace the tank o-ring.

  4. Install a 7/8th vertical elbow with loader onto the direct feed. Fill the loader with .68 caliber paintballs only.

  5. With the safety off, fire the marker by pulling the trigger.

  6. Only use lubrication specifically designed for Spyder Electra DX paintball markers. To lubricate your marker, you will need to disassemble your marker (please note how parts are removed from marker as this will ease re-assembly). Remove the Disconnect Lock Pin (#23C) and the Quick Disconnect Pin (#23B). Hold down the Striker Plug (#23F/#23FA) and Thumb Adjuster (#2529 #2529A), as internal parts may be spring-loaded. As you pull the cocking knob out of the receiver, the Venturi-Cocking Bolt (2317) and striker (JE18A) will also be removed.

  7. Lubricate o-rings #9B and #19A with a few drops of paintball oil only.

  8. Re-assemble parts back into the Spyder Electra DX paintball marker. Note: when putting the Venturi-Cocking Bolt and striker back into the marker, you will need to apply pressure behind the bolt while Pushing the sear (#JE12) forward to its limit at the same time. (right now the battery side grip must be opened ) This will allow the bolt and striker to be properly installed back into the receiver.

  9. When you are finished shooting the Spyder Electra DX paintball marker, first, unload the marker of all paintballs (also see #10 below). NOTE: there may be a ball in the receiver; take a couple of shots in a safe direction to make sure that the barrel and receiver are empty. Second, put the barrel plug into the barrel. Put the safety on and slowly unscrew the air source tank. Caution: do not unscrew the tank valve from the tank. Doing so may cause serious injury or death.

  10. Empty the hopper or remove the hopper off the marker to stop the flow of paintballs in the marker.

  11. Adjusting the regulator – To adjust the regulator, turn the regulator screw (#35E) clockwise to increase the pressure (500~600 psi is recommended). When your nitrogen or compressed air system is properly installed to the C/A adapter (#2535, #2535C), the recommended output pressure of the air system should be at 750 ~ 850 psi.

  12. Adjusting the trigger pull – You may adjust the trigger pull on your marker by turning the Trigger Adjust Screw (JE31D). Follow these steps to access the trigger adjust screw:

    1. Remove the two frame screws (#16/#16D) that connect the grip frame to the receiver.

    2. Look inside the trigger frame to find the Trigger Adjust Screw. This is a small screw connected to one end of the trigger.

    3. Turn the Trigger Adjust Screw counterclockwise to turn the screw slightly out of the trigger. This will shorten the trigger pull.

    4. CAUTION: Do not over adjust and shorten the trigger pull too much as this will cause the trigger to be too sensitive and function improperly.

    5. Reassemble Spyder Electra DX paintball marker.
