Hi!
You can charge a Litium ion battery with a Lipo charger!
Beware that you must tell the charger what Voltage and Ampere to charge with! For example a 11,4 volt, 450 mAh Lipo battery is charged with 11,4 V and 450mAh (Or any ampere below that value). A 7,2V , 450mAh lipo battery is charged with 7,2V, 450mAh (Or any ampere below that value).

Regards!

what charger are you using? You can charge lithium ion packs with a Lithium polymer charger. Jan already told you what you need to verify before charging. It is critical that you use a charger that is setup for Lithium packs otherwise you can explode the pack. Be totally sure before you try to charge. Lithiums are really safe, when handeled properly.
