I use a BK PRECISION programmable switching power supply (LINK)

But now I found a much better one for this, 4.5 times more power, and cheaper. Tanic packs has it HERE. I am going to get one for myself soon.

With that thing, you could charge a 1p pack (up to 50v!) in less than 8 minutes. A 2p pack in roughly 15 mins... too bad there is no esc that can handle 50v (a good car controller anyways), as you could have over 30 mins of runtime with only 8 mins charging time.

Yes, they can handle being charged this fast, A123 even demoed a 6 min charge themselves!

That link isn't working for some reason. Takes me to a login page. I assume it's the 50v 20A PS?
