ICE is fine... it is a true "lithium" charger. I meant you can't just use any old battery charger.

CC/CV is "constant current/constant voltage" and it describes how it charges the battery.

CC stage gets the battery to 4.2v
CV tops off the charge by holding it steady at 4.2 until the battery can't take it any more.

The current will slowly drop to zero once the charger hits 4.2 and switches to CV mode. . Once the current drops off a lot, like below 1 amp... there isn't much "charge" put into the battery... just a few mah.
