Speaking as no expert, fast chargers used to be about putting high current through a pack, and if there is one thing that lipos don't like it is (too) high current.
How fast is fast? You might be better getting one extra lipo and the you can run 1 while other on charge. And alternate

it would help if you can post up the details of the battery that you need to charge, and the details of your existing charger.

Out of interest, do you know much about lipos? There are a few key dos and don'ts to keep you safe that you should familiarise yourself with.

Re the first reply, it seems some lipos will happily charge at over 27 amps, the brca list now lists a Max charge rate.

Buy the best charger you can afford, then buy some decent charge leads, always balance charge and even use the feature on 1s lipo it's far safer and gives a far better charge
