Li-Po and Ni-Cad/Ni-MH Batteries - Why Li-Po?

Sam Fisher

Li-Po and Ni-Cad/Ni-MH
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but would I be right to say most AEGs use the 8.4v or 9.6v batteries with various mAh? My questions are,
1. Can the 7.4v Li-Po be used instead of the "standard" batteries?
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the Li-Pos?
3. Under what circumstances can the 11.1v Li-Po be used?
My main concern would be the extra stress being placed on all the internal parts of the AEG.

Thanks folks.

Most guns need to be upgraded b4 they can take lipo. Lipos have a much higher rate of fire compared to your standard nimh batteries but they wear out your gears faster which may lead to problems.
