    Most 7.4v LiPos are roughly equivalent to 9.6v NiMh batteries so should be interchangeable, the only time you may have issues is with very high C-rated LiPos which could potentially cause some issue. The advantages aof LiPos are that they are generally smaller in size, they come in a large selection of C-ratings and they have a much longer charge-discharge lifecycle.

    DO NOT use a standard charger with LiPos, if you're going to make the switch invest in a decent balance charger like the iMax B6. Charging the LiPo will be much safer and the battery will end up lasting longer if it is charged correctly.
