Default Newbie Heli Pilot - Battery help

Hi All,

I just picked up my first Heli. Its nothing special, its a Venom Ozone (that I purchased off a real stand-up rctech member), but for just messing around the house its perfect for me. And even though I suck at flying it right now, its still a blast.

Anyway, the RTF package came with (1) 7.4V 2-Cell 500mAh (I think) LiPo battery and gets around 7-10 min fly time. Here is a link to the actual battery:

I'd like to pick up an extra battery or two but want to make sure that I can use any 7.4V 2 cell LiPo and I don't need to only buy the Venom batteries. I saw a couple e-flite batteries on ebay for a good price and they appear to have the same connectors, but just want to make sure that they'll work before I go ahead an purchase any.

And assuming that the e-flite (or whatever other brand battery) connectors are the same, could I still use the stock Venom battery charger?

Sorry for the newb-ish questions. Just want to make sure I get the right stuff the first time around.

Thanks
Steve
