if i remember,Li- poly batteries do not use a peak method to charge.

i think that when the cell has reached its voltage ceiling,i believe its 4.5 volts, and the charge current drops to 1/10 of the capacity of the cell then the cell is charged,i dont believe a normal 1/10th car charger will charge them correctly.

a charger for a single cell li- poly of say500mah has a set voltage of say 4.5 volts and a charge rate of say 500mah,when the cell is nearing charge the current to the cell starts to drop as the voltage coming into the cell nears the actual cell voltage,this is when the cell is charged.

please correct me if im wrong as im pretty new to these cells but will be buying some on monday ..for my 1/87 truck all being well if they work.
