OK, I've been using a Turnigy Accucel-6 charger. This is a 50watt 6amp charger. From my understanding, for example, I can charge a 3s 2200 2c lipo at 4.4amp charge rate (2.2ah x 2c= 4.4 amp charge rate).
So, charging at this rate still takes like an hour and a half to charge. This is on the "regular charge" setting, not the "fast charge" though.
I guess my question is: Will getting a 100 or 200 watt charger speed up my charge times drastically? Is using the "fast charge" setting going to hurt the longevity of my lipos and how much faster would they charge? I'd like to be able to take a charger to the field and not have to wait 1.5 hours for a battery to charge.
