Read any literacture on Lipo maintenance. Should clear your question. 3v is the cutoff when discharging per cell. not to be charged over 4.3v per cell.
Lipos not the same as NiMh's. So forget charging lipo as nimh's. Different chemistry between the two.
Good Luck! Purchase a charger that specialize on chargng lipo only, like the Hyperion 6061i or BC6(e-station) laptop Charting & temp gauge. Directions on charging and maintenance are included.
