If I need to get right back out on the track for practice I dont wait...Just recharge and go. Same for heat races. If I am not up for a few hours I'll just let the pack sit, then discharge and recharge before I am up again.

The PSUs Progressive RC sells definitely have their purpose but yeah a used server PSU is more than enough for most people and way cheaper. For instance, at 18v i can charge what i need to on my powerlab 8 while not exceeding my iCharger 206b's input rating. 12 or 24 wouldn't work.
