My little 750 maH Li-poly would fit inside my KX1 if I remove the AA
battery holders. I say "would" because I haven't done it and won't ever
put an Li-Poly-anything *inside* a radio. I had one that I got at the
local RC Model shop catch fire while I was in the Spartan Sprint,
discharging it. I was able to pull the power plug by the pigtail and
fling it over the deck rail onto our gravel driveway.
YMMV
