Probably part of the reason why you didn't have problems is due to the electrical system of the JG. It has bottlenecks for the current with things like the battery connections, switch assembly, wire, and the motor itself. So although you were using a 11.1v Li-Poly, the ROF of the gun isn't near where it would be with a higher quality setup; which is a good thing because it made your gun last a lot longer.
To the original question though, you don't want to mess around with 11.1v Li-Poly's (or large 10.8v Ni-Mh or Ni-Cd batteries for that matter), unless you know what you're doing in the gearbox. It's a battery that takes it's toll on the internals quicker than you could imagine in most cases (just ask all the so-called "Li-Poly ready" KWA's that have broke.
