This is why I eventually decided to use AA NiMH cells instead when replacing the lead acid battery in my K2.
I use 10 AAs in a pack, this gives me 2.5AH vs ~3AH for a small LiPo pack of similar mass. The LiPOs are fine but I will keep them outside the case so I can throw them somewhere if a fault occurs. I am sure computer packs are fine but I am wary of the RC type packs. The advantage of NiMH is they are easy to charge. They may fail faster but they are very cheap to replace.
