I have a question. Couldn't you set the ICE to the Li-Ion mode and charge the cells? Hasn't anyone done this?

From what I can tell it will charge them (CC/CV mode) to 3.6v per cell. You can charge at up to 8 amps. The Ice will not let you charge more than 1C
but you can fool the charger by setting the capacity to 8000mah and get the 8 amp maximum that the ICE can give. It wouldn't effect teh peaking of the battery at all. It would be just a little slower than the 10 amps that the A123 charger delivers but still very fast.

I'm asking because I have two ICE chargers and was thinking about getting some of the batteries but don't want or need another charger. I could charge two packs at once with my ICEs.
