Andy is right on this one; five cell NiCD/NiMH packs come off the charger at exactly the same voltage as an two cell A123/LiFe battery but the A123's drop pretty quickly to their nominal voltage which is less than a newly charged five cell of the other two chemistry types.
If you don't believe that, spend a little time on the Futaba support forum to see what Bax has had to say about using the A123/LiFe and Li-Ion/LiPo chemistries.
