LiPoly maintenance?

I love the idea. But how do you maintain 'em?
I'd like to keep the battery working it's best for the $$ I'm gonna lay down.

There's gotta be something archived here.
I'll dig around.

EDIT
I'm tempted to try to use Gameboy Advance SP batteries with some sort of regulation just because they are available to me via my store fairly cheap.

Popping them into a used GBA SP for charging doesn't seem too bad either, but I haven't sized one next to a ZZ MT yet, nor do I have a plan on an easy in/out mount for said batteries.

gameboy advance batteries are small but still to big for a ZZmt.
There are small 1 cell LI-po's(20mmx25mmx4mm or so) on the net for about $8 each and a charger is around $20-$60 depending on what features you want/need.

Cool.

I was just looking at one and it is indeed too big, unless you want it to be the bed of a flatbed truck body.
