Default Using a different charger?????

I have a Vision Peak Ultra Charger. It will charge Ni-Cads, Ni-MH and Li-Po batteries. It is rated for 1 to 3 cell Li-Po's and I can vary the Amp rate when the battery is charging. I just got a Blade VX2 that came with a 7.4 V, 800mah Li-Po battery. This is my first experience with Li-Po's. Can I charge this battery with my Vision Charger?? If so, what is the maximum Amps I can charge the Li-Po battery??
The manual says to use the included Balancing Charger ONLY? It goes on to say the 2 cell Li-Po that I have features Charge Protection Circuitry???
Is this some kind of special Li-Po or can I use my Vision charger?? The stock charger takes 90 minutes to charge!!
Thank You for any and all replies...
P.S. the battery will hook up to my Vision charger using the red lead. This is the non balancing lead. F.Y.I. The balancing lead does not fit the connections on my Vision Charger...

Yes you can. Make sure you set it to 2 cell and 0.8 amps. Never charge a lipo over 1C. 800mAh = .8A
