It's called research and reading manufacturers technical specification that gives you a grounding on how a particular item works, it isn't rocket science.

You forget to say that most NEW chargers are lipo enabled. I have two chargers here that are not, and four that are.

I will come back to my original concern with the cells, is that, unlike all other cells previously, they could all be charged with older chargers, LiPo can't and needs a specifically LiPo programmed charger, plus, running them below voltage causes issue's too. This is where the crux of the problem is, for me. Where as the educated racer will know what to do, the majority of bashers and club level racers wont. There is no backward compatibility in them.
