Question Li-ion charger for Li-Po's?

Can I use a 9v 200mah Li-ion charger for 7.4v 200mah Li-Po's?
Are the technologies so different that it will not work, or be dangerous?
I can only find Li-ion chargers in 5v, 7v, and 9v and figured if I want a full charge I'd need the 9v..
Thanx in advance..

Lipo and Lithium Ion cells have proprietary charge profiles for each and should be charged accordingly.

This is the main reason that I recently updated my charger to a model with Lithium Ion/A123 and LiFe capabilities.

You cant use that with a lipo. It will cause a fire.
