LiPo/LiLo: LiPo/LiLo batteries (lithium polymer / Lithium Ion) are
high current rechargeable batteries. LiPo/LiLo batteries offer
extended run time and peak performance over NiMH batteries.
They require a peak detection charger designed specifically for
LiPo/LiLo batteries.
These batteries require special care and handling.
LiPo/LiLo batteries are recommended for advanced users only!
ALWAYS charge a LiPo/LiLo battery in LiPo/LiLo mode.
