Questions?? Charging a 4s lipo on an Ice charger

Im looking at getting a 4s lipo, probably in the 5000 mah. I have a Checkpoint powersupply that has adjustable output voltage. My question is: is my charger and or powersupply going to get a real workout charging these 4s lipos? can i still charge them at 5 amps?

4S 500mah at 1C is only 84watts. I think I've seen someone say the Ice is rated at 140watts, so thats not a real workout. Your TC PS won't have any probs either.

Now if you were going to try and fool ICE into a 2C charge, that would be more than the charger could handle. The PS wouldn't have any probs. That PS is rated for 300watts.
