LiPo Batteries are becoming the go to type battery in the industry. Sure they may cost a little more initially, if cared for properly will last years longer than SLA batteries. We are using LiPo batteries here in the Hospitals with our powered patient carts and they batteries we use are warrantied for 5 years as apposed to 6 months like the SLA batteries carry. LiPo batteries can pop just like SLA batteries can. Also keep in mind to never store you batteries directly on concrete. If you have to place them on the ground, put some cardboard or something like that under them. If you place it directly on the ground it will drain you battery no matter what type you have.
