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
