Even if you are only charging the battery at a couple of A, the charger itself is not 100% efficient, so will require more current. A low quality charger like the Turnigy you mentioned is unlikely to be more than about 75% efficient. Therefore, if you are charging at 4A, the charger actually requires 5.33A. You are going to be very limited with the computer power supply.
