Great charger for a good price, it does every battery. NiCd, NiMH, LiPO. it comes with a huge selection of battery connectors that are interchangable so you don't have to cut anything for your choice of battery connection.

Lipo batterys have a lot of power for their weight and size, and in my experience with them they charge must faster. The only pain is that you must each cell's voltage to keep them the same or you could cause one to overcharge and it could catch on fire. The charger I linked to above can balance Lipos. You plug the battery power connector in, the balance plug in, and set the charger to balance. It will charge and balance at the same time. So really the only effort required beyond the NiMH is an extra plug and a few seconds longer to setup the charger. Def worth the investment.
