Says in their promo:

"Lithium-pack compatible! Capable of charging and discharging 1-3 cell Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer packs — or peaking, discharging and cycling 1-10 cell NiCd or NiMH packs."

Make sure you fully understand how to set it up, and be conservative. Don't get any cell below 3.0v.
