IMR's are a type of Li-Ion cell.

You will charge them on the LiPo setting on the hobby charger.
Which charger is it? On my accucel the li-ion mode charges to 4.1v and the li-po mode charges to 4.2v, something to do with old li-ion's were 3.6v nominal and charged to 4.1 (i think).
Use the li-po setting if you want a full charge.

Right. Lithium ion, lithium polymer, lithium cobalt and lithium manganese all use the same charge parameters: CC/CV with 4.1V termination voltage for longest life, or 4.2V for maximum capacity. At present, the only oddball is lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), aka lithium nanophosphate, which terminates at 3.6V.
