There in the US there are many lawyers and it seems people love to go to court, so it makes sense to recommend to use more stable batteries like the old nimhs.
About what I recommend, it is well described here:

Rad, when Erik was speaking for himself he said he uses lipos all the time, but when he was speaking for Imex he said they were NOT recommended and would void the warranty. I will call Imex today and get a definitive answer.
