OK, I got an impress charger WPLN4114AR. It has firmware version 1.20. Is there a need to upgrade this for ht1000 and xts2500 batteries to "impress" properly?

if you plan on using lithium ion or don't want your batteries corrupted by defective firmware, i'd highly recommend updating to 3.40

Updating firmware on an impres charger is pretty straightforward. You need the impres firmware updater hardware kit, and to download the firmware from MOL (if it's available on your account).
Anyway, I will concur with Jeff and say if at all possible you should have a charger that has firmware that old upgraded to the latest version.

Is there a big enough difference between 3.30 and 3.40 to make it worthwhile to get it upgraded?

If I remember, 3.40 added support for some newer 2500 batteries, or some such.
