Li-Ion / Li-Poly charging

Hi,
I have a "Hobbico Quick Field Charger Mk II". The ads and the guy in
the hobby store said it was OK for Li-poly, but the instructions that
come with it mention only Li-ion and suggest (without being very
explicit) that it may not be suitable for other types of Li cells.
Does anyone have accurate information?

The,
I have the same one & it does indeed, charge LiPo's just fine!
Limited to 1 amp, but does LiPo's with no problem. I charge my Kokam 1500mAh LiPo's (2 & 3 cell) with mine. --

When charging LiPo's, I put mine into a metal coffee can, just to contain any possible mishaps. --

Lithium-ion and lithium-poly cells have the same electrical characteristics. A charger for lithium-ion will work just as well on lithium-poly. Chargers designed specifically for lithium poly might be able to do the job faster, but you should have no problem using this charger. Lithium metal cells can't be used, however.
