Thanks Jerry. This is a relatively small copter so I am held to a weight restriction. Looks like LiPo is the only way to go (or Life if they make small enough cells).

I figured I should ask you electric gurus first. I am pretty handy with my hands, but I am an old school battery guy (NiMHs and NiCDs at best :P). Heck I still use an old school charger thats at least ten or eleven years old lol. Honestly, the last thing I want to do is fry my copter. Results on the web have been... limited to say the least. There was a guy who used to make an adapter to use aftermarket batteries but he is MIA and his email is closed; emails just bounce back.

If anyone else has any ideas that would be excellent. I still dont know if its bad to solder the balance leads straight together...
