[Nimble]

So as of a few months ago Im the proud owner of the new LCT as val. Awesome gun so far, accurate, solid, etc etc.
My main question today is using LiPo batteries. Im new to the world of lipos and have heard everything ranging from good reviews to stories of peoples guns exploding and lighting on fire.
Right now Im using a firefox 7.4v "butterfly" lipo and was told to just not let the battery run dry and I should be ok as far as preserving battery life and electrical system integrity. I was wondering if anyone who has been using lipos for longer has any suggestions on failsafes I could be installing? I heard you can install cutoff switches etc but have no clue where to even begin.
