Default Nicad batteries only?

I bought a pair of Futaba S3305 metal geared servos to use in my new Katana. The instructions that come with the servos is as follows:
"This is the Futaba S3305 High Torque, Metal Gear Servo.per Futaba this servo is approved for use with NiCd batteries only. This servo can produce high-current draw from your batteries. If using NiMH or Li-Po batteries, make sure they are capable of delivering sufficient Amps."
What gives. I was planning on using a Nimh 1100 or possibly one of my older Lipos, 1200 2p with regulator. I was not planning on buying a new battery just to use these servos.
