You can use an auto battery to run the Accucel-6 charger. You can charge two lipo batteries at once wired in parallel, but its going to be awful slow since that charger has only 50watts of charger output power. Depending on what the lipos are (cell count and capacity), it'd prob be faster to cahrge them one at a time.

Safer too, unless you know what you're doing and have the required cabling.

Yes, thats the max charge rate for than charger.

As long as the battery you're charging is not more than 10volts, the charger will charge at 5amps. If this is a 2S lipo or NiMh, those will charge at 5amps (lipo would need to be 5000mah to be safely charged at 5amps).

Its called a power supply. You plug the power supply into the wall and then plug the power supply into the charger.

I was going to post the same response but decided against it since it seems that he is a real noob.
