Generic sack based lithium batteries like you see in the RC industry are another story though...

I'm also not a battery expert, but I've lived with one and worked with another. I believe the LiFePO4 chemistry to be sufficiently safe for FRC usage. They would be perfect if they didn't cost so much.
However, I would hesitate to use other Lithium based chemistries.
