It's nice to have a choice of battery solutions!
The Li-Polymer battery referenced is about 7 ounces lighter than a
similar NiMH battery, but comes with a high price. The $46 battery
listed above provides 3000 mAh. The same money will buy two 3600 mAh
NiMH batteries plus a wall charger.
For example, this 3600 mAh battery costs $20

The NiMH battery packs are available in power ratings up to 4500 mAh,
or 50% more power than provided by the Li-Poly battery referenced above.
For example, this 4500 mAh NiMH battery costs $34

Be careful when purchasing a Li-Polymer battery that the dimensions
are appropriate for the FR-2LE's battery compartment. The battery
listed above probably will fit. I've seen others that are too wide.
