Bounce some ideas around for using li-po battery packs.

Wouldn't change the C rating, and most (if not all) of those batts don't have the amperage to drive a decent coil

This is wrong.

Like Tiki said almost any lipo will work, especially RC lipo's.

To calculate constant amp drain rating of a lipo, divide the mAh by 1000 to get Ah and multiply by the c-rating.

Here is an example.....let's say we have a 2S 2400mAh 20c lipo pack that we are going to rewire in parallel.

2400/1000=2.4 x 20= 48 amps continuous discharge capability

Wired in parallel
2400mAh x 2 = 4800mAh
48 amps x 2 = 96 amps continuous discharge capability.
