I just received a King Arms 9.6v lipo and was wondering how to charge it with an X-Charger B-6.

Link for the battery: http://kingarms.com/productpage.asp?prodid=1635

The charger can charge 3.3v (LiFe), 3.7v (LiPo) and 3.6v(LiIo) lithium batteries... there is 3 cells in the battery pack, this means that each cell is 3.2v (9.6v / 3). But the description for the battery on all sites (eHobby) state it's a LiPo... which should be 3.7v x 3 = 11.1v.

According to Wikipedia, LiFePO4 cells are 3.2v, which would make sense with this battery. My guess is that it would be ok to charge it using the LiFe setting (3.3v), but from having read about other people's mishaps with Lithium batteries, I would rather be on the safe side and seek the wisdom of those more experienced than me.

Can I charge this battery with my X-Charger B6? If yes, how should I proceed? If not, what kind of charger should I use?

Thanks!
