Can I use the older Vexilar V-400 Automatic charger with the newer V-100L lithium ion battery? I have an FL-20 Ultrapack and this charger came standard. Just want to know if it’s safe to use, thanks!

LOL at you guys, drink the koolaid.
Likely your wall-wart will work just fine. If it charges the lithium to it's recommended level, you are good to go.
Yes, you should monitor the charge with a DVM and disconnect when charged. Yes, there is a possibility of overcharge (or undercharge) if you do not.
My wall-wart does not exceed the maximum recommended charge voltage of my lithium, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. That said, storing lithiums at a very high state of charge is not recommended, because it does impact cell life. So, I disconnect once the nominal minimum is met.
From what I can see, the Vex V-410 is almost exactly what you already have.
