To the original question though, you don't want to mess around with 11.1v Li-Poly's (or large 10.8v Ni-Mh or Ni-Cd batteries for that matter), unless you know what you're doing in the gearbox. It's a battery that takes it's toll on the internals quicker than you could imagine in most cases (just ask all the so-called "Li-Poly ready" KWA's that have broke.

If JG doesn't cut it, I've used it in a CA36C, Kalash AK74, CYMA MP5, TM M4, and Kraken. NON of them had problems. The only people who frown upon lipos are people with no experience. I used an 8.4v nimh ever since I started airsoft, and when I tried lipo, I never turned back, ever. I sold my nimh chargers and batteries alike, and turned completely lipo.
and about the KWA M4s that broke down, I use a KWA M4, and holy god isn't it awesome. I've used lipo ever since the first shot fired, and still going strong at 10000+ shots.
