Default CHARGING LI-POLY - NEED SOME HELP

Q#1

I got he Hobbico Quick field charger ( some one told me it is the newer model)

I got a Li-po Battery that I'm charging on it I have it set up for LI-Ion( green) at 1000mA and I'm checking progress with meter.

the Battery is a 11.1V 1200mAh 3cell from E-tech. When I put the meter leads on it (at charger) in the begining it was at 11.32V
now its at 12.31V - IS THAT NORMAL????. I don't want to blow anything up . I am using a 115AC to 15DC 1.75A Power supply.
IS IT SUPPOSED TO BEEP WHEN LI-POLY IS DONE? Mine started to blink green 4 times

Q#2
Battery cost - $32.95 at local swop meet. Is this a good deal??


Hobbico Charger $49.99
PS - $5
