Honestly I don't. My radio works perfectly with NiMH rechargeables. I don't know what their reasoning behind going LiPo was but I know what mine would be. Even with a regulator you could have heat issues. I wouldn't want that inside of my radio honestly. Plus a single-cell LiPo has too low of a voltage output, meaning you would HAVE to use a 2S, and you're right back at the regulator again. Plus the goal was to make this a radio that ran off of 4AA's.
