These batteries are used for security system back up when the power goes out. I would "hope" they would hold up to a bump box.
In case though how many Mah would I need with a lipo?
I use a 2200MAH 3s for my dual motor bump box. You can get a battery and charger from hobby king for under 20 bucks before shipping.

Not expensive and I get a few days before I charge it and it still has plenty in it. My charger shows the amount of MAH going into the battery while charging. That charger cost me 22 bucks but cheaper ones are available for $9 bucks.
