Default Charging a Lipo...

I also posted this in the beginner's forum, but I thought I might get some more informed posts here. I'm just getting back into r/c after a few years, and apparently Lipo is the way to go. My question is what should I be looking for in a good charger? I will need it to be AC. My main concern is how do I know when a Lipo is completely charged? Do all chargers have a built in cut-off for peak charging, or do I need to watch the voltage? It seems like the Delta Peak function is just for Nimh and Nicd. I'll be running 2s packs for 1/10 electric offroad, so the voltage at full charge should be at 8.4, correct? Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
