I am looking to build or buy a li-po kit for my evo. Can someone tell me if this

Does anyone have a good online store that sells li-po batteries or kits that would suit a xmods evo?

Also, would this charger be suitable for charging a li-po pack?

Input:100-240V~/
Output: 5.7v=/800mA
LISTED 32MM LTE POWER SUPPLY

Any help would be much appreciated.

I belive thats a lipo battery. As for the charger,that would work. You can get some lipos off AM (atomicmods.com) and thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks for the quick reply. So if thats a li-po i should be able to run my pn racing s01 with my upgraded fets without dumping the battery due to the high current draw?

if you get Lipos keep in mind that if you discharge them below a certain level they will blow up and take your car with it. ask the place where you get your lipos from for a high current draw one.

the seller finally replied with the answer "li-ion" very informative seller. I wonder why this seller is making his listings so misleading and vague. Anyway now tat this pack is out of the qustion can someone suggest where to get a reasonably priced poly pack or cells.

For prior knowledge--

Lithium Ion batteries are typically cylindrical cells (like an Alkaline or Ni-MH)
Lithium Polymer batteries are typically cell packs (like a flat square)

This does not always hold true, however. If you're unsure you can ask the seller, or judge from the mAh/discharge rating. Typically (again, not always) Li-Po's have a higher mAh and discharge rating.
