Default RE: CHARGING LI-POLY - NEED SOME HELP

I am not getting upset . I read that Hobbico will charge the Li-Ion at 1A (1000mA) max therfore it will charge the Li-Poly at same rate.
As for the Pack volage its labeled as 11.1V so I would assume thet this is its peak, but when I put my leads on battery it read 11.32V
My 12V PS says its 12V but it outputs 15.somthing. When I stopped charging last night the battery was holding steady at 12.30's. There is a lot of people charging Li-Poly batteries with Hobbico charger I just want to know: HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN ITS DONE CHARGING LI-POLY? OR DO I HAVE TO BABY-SIT IT?

I don' see myself spending a lot of money for an overpriced Triton charger just to feel safe. (I got Insurance policies that do that). Just because some hot shot celebrity flier says it works.

I rather take an opinion of bunch 50-60 year olds that been there done that, than spending money on latest and gratest toy to feel safe.

Now I'm upset[:@] JK
