RE: replacment battery
6 AA batteries equals about 9 volts. So there's nothing in that range for lipo. It'll either be 7.4 or 11.1 volts. That means it'll run like the batteries are dead, or just fry it. I suggest you buy some of these:

funny thing is 6 AA rechargeable batteries comes out to about 7.5V where a lipo is 7.4v, seeing AA rechargeables are 1.25v's each
he would need to mod it to hold 7AA's to get 8.75Vs
