Default 8t 2.0 Life Receiver battery

I am looking to upgrade the receiver battery in my 8t 2.0.
After considering all the factors, I think I want to go with a life pack. I know they come in smaller mAh sizes. But I would prefer to not deal with the hassles that come with Lipo batteries (regulator, low voltage cutoff and possible fire damage).

So I am looking for the largest mAh battery that I can successfully fit in the 8t 2.0 battery compartment.

I have found a few potential replacements, but I am getting conflicting indications as to whether or not they fit.

I was hoping I could get some confirmation on some of these batteries actually fitting in the 8t 2.0 battery tray. Pics of the actual fit would be awesome. Also what kind of run time do you get out of the battery.

This protek is the largest life pack I have found. But I am unsure of if it fits.

Another 1700mAh pack that supposedly fits snuggly.

This Dynamite pack is smaller in both size and mAh. What

Finally the Life Source packs from tower hobbies.

Sorry for the dead links. But I am a newbie to this forum as well as the 8t 2.0.
