Default Lipo charging query?

Hi, I have this lipo ignitor

This is the Dynamite LiPo Glow Driver

Features:

LiPo powered, providing higher power output versus NiMH glow drivers
Switching power transfer (low heat dissapation)
LED indicator light allows users to detect if the glow plug is good or not
Includes a 1S 1200mAh Li-Po battery and charger
Fits all glow plugs
High-technology regulator, output voltage is 1.5V
2.5mm DC Jack, Center pin positive charge hole

It was kept for over a year in stock and now when I try to charge it it is giving me battery error and do not charge

someone told me that I can use NIMH function to charge it a little then switch to LIPO.

I need your advise?

If I use NIMH what settings etc should I use? Thanks a lot

Default

if it is low voltage, put in in nimh mode, 1 amp, and charge it for a little while, then when it reaches the minimum for lipo batteries. (around 3 volts) charge to lipo mode.
