LiPo charged with NiCD Charger?!

[ohmygahitscoby]

Well I'm here in Hawaii, and there is this hobby shop near me. I checked their website and it says they have LiPo packs that you can charge with a wall charger, so I figured for a NiMH or NiCD charger. Is this true? In the pictures, the brand is Dynapower.

If the wall charger is designed for LiPo batteries, that's fine. But if it's a standard NiMH or NiCd charger, I wouldn't even think about it. LiPo's use a completely different strategy than delta peak. And LiPo's are very flammable if treated wrong. Hook one up to a regluar charger and you're asking for a fire.

It also says that they are transmitter batteries which are different then the ones you use to run an electric rc motor, servos don't put the same demand on the batteries and they can't handle the continuious high current drain.
