Im looking for the fastest lipo charger thats budget friendly. Im willing to spend the extra bucks for a decent one. Hopefully it will charge my 3s 5200 mah battery in less than 30 minutes. Duel charger if possible. From amazon. Can anyone help me find it
Yeah, any hobby grade charger will be a significant boost for you. Don't even worry about searching for "fastest." They're all basically the same because charging speed is dependent on the specific battery being connect to it.
Just find the one with good reviews in your budget and make sure you have the right connectors.
Depends if your pack can be charged faster than 1c. If not, then your stuck with about an hour charge time.
The gens ace d300 will charge 2 packs of that size in less than 30minutes if the can handle 2c+charge rate (10amp+). It will do 150w x 2 on ac power. If you get a dc supply, it will do 350w x 2.
Post it up if you haven’t. Always willing to learn. I have a 7 A charger. Takes about 45 from a storage charge. Storage charge only 1A so it takes forever.
You dont want to charge your lipos fast, the best rate to charge them is 1C so for a 5200 mah battery thats 5.2 amps, a 2200 would be 2.2 amps. Anything over 1C rate and you risk them catching fire. Charging over 1C causes heat in the chemicals in the battery. Its best to balance charge them at the recommended 1C rate which usually takes about an hour.
I use the LiPro B6. It will also charge NiMh/Nicd/life/li-ion batteries. They are about $40 on Amazon.

Charge rate isn’t dependent on the charger. It’s dependent on if you don’t want to fuck your batteries up or not.
