I'm not aware of any.

Lately I've been using my ICE to charge my 5s2p A123 pack. Believe it or not, but in 10cell NiMh mode, the ICE WILL charge up to the 18v that 5s A123 needs to be charged to to get a full charge. In fact, the ICE will even go over 19v! (it was an accident, I swear!) The ICE does have a 120watt power output limit, so when a 5s pack is approaching the end of a charge it can only put out about 6.7amps (but at 15v it can still do the full 8amps).
You do need to cut the charge off manually, though. Or, you can get a "LipoDapter" that will cut the charge off at 3.6v/cell.
