So a 5200mah pack charging at 1C which is 5.2A would need over 1 hour to charge from flat and balance so for 2C you need a charger that can do 10.4A so you can charge in just over 30mins. As I say but a decent charger and you can future proof yourself. The 0615 can do 5000mah packs at up to 3C and the 0720 single output charger can do 5000mah packs at up to 4C so you could charge a pack which supports this rate in around 12mins.

Good point, I only race 1/18 at the moment so the 0606i does me nicely for 2-3C for my 1600 Hyperions.
But by all means go for the 0615 with bigger packs, charging at faster rates certainly helps.
