Default Lipo newbie here

Because of all the money I got from my last birthday I decided to go lipo. I just now bought a Dynamite 6000 mAh 7.4v 2S 25C battery. What should I look for in a lipo charger for the type of pack I'm using? I prefer a DC charger/balancer that charges NIMH and lipo. I heard that lipos need to be at a certain voltage when you're not using it. Does the charger/balancer check that? I think I remember reading that the stock SC10 ESC stops when the lipo gets to that certain voltage.

Well I think I figured out everything but how can you tell if the lipo is swollen if it's in a case? The only thing I could think of is opening the case but I read that I should disassemble it.
