LIPO chargers require logic because they have to switch from constant voltage to constant current. Also, while required, you probably want to monitor temperature as well both because charging when it's too cold will damage the battery and LIPOs have a tendency to thermally runaway when they start to fail.

Read: catch on fire, sometimes leading to a pretty violent explosion if they are packed tightly into something like a bike frame.

Having worked with high amp LiPo cells I have developed a unique appreciation of both their peak current output and their ability to strike fear into the everyone around them if you accidentally short them or start to see them ballooning/bulging.

My only run in with said fire was thankfully fairly minor, I spotted the pack looking a little buldged and summarily ripped it off the charger and dipped it into a 44 gallon drum. After about 60-90s it started smoking and caught on fire.

Don't fuck around with LiPos.
