Lipo battery for Sanwa MT4

[Ashlandchris]

I have always used AA batteries for my Tx but understand I can use a lipo. Is there anything specific I need to find and is it simply a case of finding one of specific dimensions?
Many thanks in advance

Hobbyking have Life batterys that fit
I can see if I can get a link . I got a couple but found a big one that I had to remove some of the plastic around the battery holder

Cheers. What is the benefit of a LiFe over a LiPo (is LiFe 6.6v rather than 7.4v? Would 7.4v not be better?)

Snap!! It was that listing that triggered my question as I saw that and thought "oh, this is easy" but then did a quick bit of googling and found other people saying that the MT4 should only be used with a LiFe as the voltage from a LiPo is too high. I asked it here as I know Ooplers are the font of all knowledge

i run the LRP 1700ma LiFe battery in my MT4
LiFe batteries are a little less volatile and i personally are more comfortable with slightly less voltage in my handset
