Hey guys, I have been thinking for a while about some Micro-T Lipos and I did find one from diyminituner.com for around $30 (for battery & charger) but now its gone. I don't want to pay $50 for some Lipos and after some researching, I stumbled upon this:

and this charger:

I don't know how good they are, and how much effort I need to put into those Lipos to maintain them and keep them from blowing up, so my questions are:

1) Are the above listed good/safe to use?
2) Are there any other alternatives for under $30?
3) What do I need to do to maintain Lipos and keep them from going awry?

Your choices you've made look sound. The guidelines shown on the lipo page are exactly what you need to follow:

1. Never allow your voltage to drop below 3v per cell
2. Never charge above it's capacity (C). 200mah cells get charged at 200ma.

well thw good thing bout the micro t lipos is that they use a LVC that is installed in the battery which pervents it from going under 3v
there 2 size batts tho.. a micro-t size and a micro-dt size lipo.. te micro t one is smaller so make sure your getting the right one
