Cause i was thinking of this https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0B283T6YV/
I'm a big fan of the Imax B6. They are inexpensive & do a great job on the size of batteries I use. They can charge a 4,000 mah 6S battery or smaller in about an hour. It can charge larger batteries, they just take longer. If you plan on charging lager batteries, you should consider a more powerfull charger.
Regarding charging, batteries should be charged at 1C. So for a 2,200 mah battery, that's 2.2 amps and a 4,000 mah battery is 4 amps.
It's good practice to let batteries sit for a minimum of 15 minutes after a flight to cool before charging and give them another 15 rest after charging before flight. Charging at no more than 1C plus resting will prolong the battery life. I generally get 3 years of regular of use on my packs. Some packs a bit longer, some a bit shorter.

And this one:? https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0B283T6YV/
Your link is not working for me.
One like this https://a.co/d/03p6uRbH
They come in several varieties, some run only on 12v, some come with a separate adapter that plugs into the wall & supply 12v & some plug unto the wall with an internal adapter. Pick the one that will work best for you.
In my setup, I have a single converter that supplies 15v for all of my B6 chargers (8 of them). If one charger goes bad, and they occasionally do, I just swap it out.
I buy the cheapest ones I can find, usually from aliexpres. I always keep a spare on hand. That way the long shipping time is no big deal, I'm only replacing my inventory of spares.

I have one of these PD60 chargers that came with a plane I have. It works OK for small packs, but the ones Merv uses are more flexible.
this one has a wall plug and tranny:

maybe its cause its from spanish amazon but its this:
ISDT PD60 - Cargador de batería de polímero de litio (60 W, 6 A, para baterías 1-4S LiPo/Life/Lilon/LiHv/Pb/NiMH RC)
You really need a good USB-C charger and cable if you are going to use it at more than 1A. Even 1A will heat the cable and brick up if you use cheap ones. I use it because it is convenient for some small packs I have.
You may want to consider a charger that can work AC or DC. Something simple like this:
ISDT 608AC 50W AC 200W DC Dual Mode 8A 6S Smart Charger
ISDT 608AC AC DC dual mode 200W battery charger with detachable 50W AC/DC power supply. This charger can either plug to the wall directly, or powered by your own power supply. If a 200W output power supply is used the charger can charge 6S LiPo up to 8A. Easy to read color LCD screen and simple...
