Yup, that's right. Charge time is a function of charge current and battery capacity.

The only time battery voltage is a consideration is if the charger in question has a low-ish power limit, which would limit the charge current if the voltage X current exceeded it.

2s 4000mAh should be charged at 4A. Time to charge is ~1hr. Max charger power required is ~30w.

3s 3100mA should be charged at 3.1A. Time to charge is ~1hr. max charger power required is ~40w.

Both scenarios are well under the power limit of even the smallest chargers...
