I wouldn't think so.  The charging circuit in the laptop should be 
designed for NiMh.  Li Ion require a constant current charge which 
swithches to constant voltage when the cell is fully charged, or is it the 
other way round - whatever, the requirement is precise.

If Li Ion batteries are not charged correctly they can explode and/or 
catch fire.
