RE: Li-Po Max
A 2-cell (2S1P) pack of Etec 1200 or Kokam 1500HD cells will be lighter, and give you approximately twice as much duration.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the proper care and feeding of LiPolys, as well as the risks involved, before you buy. You can easily ruin a very expensive battery. LiPoly cells can and have started fires when they're not treated properly.
You'll love 'em, just be careful.
