Will charging a 3.6 cell require 4.2 charger?

Sorry for the amateur question .
I want to order some 3.6V cr2 cells for my dilda.
The 3.6V cells should charge to 4.2V.
So does that mean I need a charger that puts out 4.2?
The charger I have now, is for standard cr2 3.0V cells. It puts out 3.4V

I'm assuming. I cant get out any more voltage, from the cell. Than I put into it.

Yes, you need a charger that puts out 4,2V

Thanks, Grix
Thats what I thought. It would have been too easy to just buy the batteries, and use the cr2/cr123 charger I already own.

you can use your charger for temporary. it will charge them and you will get buning power but it only lasts for like 15 minutes

Make sure the charger does not deliver too much amps.
