I can charge a 3s A123 pack in under 10 min. That is why My truck runs a pair in series. (I can charge 2 at a time :)).

That said to get fast charge times you will not do it with the Hyperion. I think most are limited to 10 amps or so. I think with CV that means you will take about 20+ min for a full charge. For A123's Look into Zip charging. Do NOT ever zip charge a Lipo!!!!

PS. I start my charge at around 18 amps!
