Li-Lon batteries are what we use in every-day life usually. Most cell phones use them. They have some advantages but im not sure if they make an airsoft version of a Li-Lon. Do they?

They make Li-Lon battery packs which can be used for airsoft.

aren't those the ones that if you charge just a tiny bit to long they explode? the ones in the toys like the rc helicopter

yes and YOU NEED a smart charger if your going to use Li-Po Personally I like NiMh because it has a slow discharge rate. Li-Po's discharge about 2 times faster than a equivalent size/voltage NiMh.
