Not sure what you mean here. A typical lipo charger will charge at the set current until the voltage gets to 4.2v/cell. At that point, the voltage is held constant at 4.2v and the current slowly drops to a preset small value (something like 1/10 of the mAh rating).

Easier to just get a 3s A123 pack if you want 9.9v. Or, just use a normal 3s lipo pack and turn down the power on the ESC (depending on the ESC used).

I believe the word you are looking for is "trustworthy". And I'm not sure about them as I have never purchased from them, but other people seem to like them. IIRC, A123 cells are sold individually for ~$10 each. If you are getting 4 for $20, make sure they aren't the lower 1100mAh cells (or something like that).
