Unless you are blowing up a LiPo on purpose, the scale of what you have to do wrong to get it to blow accidentally will more than kill a NiMh pack. I have never heard of a LiPo pack exploding except on purpose, when idiots use them (wrong chargers and such), and super cheap Chinese brand ones.

Firefox is one of the best from what I have read, good quality but some Chinese companies label their packs "Firefox" but they aren't, so buy from a reputable retailer.

Advantage over NiMh? I can get 11.1V and almost 3000mAh into the size of a mini 8.4V NiMh, for the size of a large 8.4V NiMh I can get 9900mAh (yeah, overkill, I know.)

Do I use LiPo? Nope, I own too many expensive NiMh packs for it to be worth it for me to switch over, and my only guns are a PTW (official SystemA batteries), and a STAR M60 (massive battery compartment) so I have no need. Those that run guns with mini batteries and high fps upgrades its really worth it.

Any questions, ask Kos-Mos here on ASC or read his battery FAQ thread thats been stickied.
