How can I power Ironman Suit?

[undertaker]

Hi there,
I'd like to know how can I power my Ironman suit...
Now I power the 2 servos in the helmet with 2 battery pack (3 AA batteries), one per servo... and a 6 AA battery pack to power Arduino and led eyes.
I'm trying to add shoulder rocket system, but I need 6 more servos and some led...
Is there the possibility to power all system with an unique battery... can I use something like that? ZIPPY Flightmax 4200mAh 2S2P 30C LiFePo4 Pack
I don't want to use lipo batteries but I see that LiFePo are safer and doing the same...
What do you think about that?
What type of power (instead of Arc Reactor ) do you use?
Thanks

Why do you want to stay away from a LiPo battery?

I use them in airsoft and i don't want to wear them or have them in the helmet

I wouldn't go for the lipos just on the safety side I've seen a few go boom I would want them trap in a suit with me

Exactly...

i think you should build a real arc reactor, then tell me how to do it, so i can steal the idea and be rich.

This looks like a great solution. For the price, I'd say run with it and let us know how it turns out. I've been looking at trying to do something similar.

At one point I was looking at these to power my helmet: 2600 mAh USB Power Bank Portable External Battery with Flash LED for iPhone PSP | eBay

I am trying to run almost the exact same setup you have in yours and figured I could have two of these powering the servos and one powering the Arduino. Even though these are LiIon and not LiPo, I still was worried about keeping them near my head so never went through with it.
