They are all of the same make or type in a way, just different chemicals for the mixtures to call them lion or lipo, a lion is lithium ion and a lipo is lithium polymer, both made from the stuff, different chemicals added for different apps.  I promise though, lipos are 100% safe if used properly.  I have played with them for almost 10 years now an never had one explode yet, and I have many batts for my rx cars and quad copters, ( they aren't drones either lol).  Anyway, find some good nimh batts and don't over charge them at too high of a charge rate and all should be fine.  Like I said, the lower the charge rate, the longer the life of the battery will be.
