Default Do I need a special charger?

I'm thinking about changing my batteries to A123's and I've heard about chargers for A123 but do I really need any special charger just for A123's. Thanks.

I think I saw or heard of something, it's a converter for A123. I think it was on some jet website. But I don't think that it's for lipo chargers. I think what I heard was you can only use it for NIMH. Has anyone else heard of this.
