Garry - A LiPo behaves very differently to a NiMH or NiCD during a charge cycle and will become dangerously unstable if you overcharge it. Bear in mind that all delta peak chargers are effectively over charging the cells and relying on a voltage drop to cut out. Do that with a LiPo and you'll have some nasty and unstable chemicals on your hands (hopefully not literally)

Do not charge a LiPo with anything but a LiPo compatible charger - if your charger is compatible, it will have a LiPo charge mode. If it hasn't - you'll need one regardless of actual cell make.
