Default 4S charging

Okay, I thought I was just gonna pick up a 4s pack and throw it on my current charger for 2s batteries and thats it. Just checked the specs and it says I can only charge at 4A with a 4s pack. With a 5000mah pack that works out to about 1 hour and 15 minutes. No biggie but, how much charge do these things use in a normal 5min qualifier?

If it uses the whole 5000mah then its a pain to pump it back up in time for the next heat. If its only about 3000mah used then that's not so bad.

How do you guys manage your charging to stay in pace with the race schedule? Having more packs is nice but can get awful expensive. Are there any special chargers you guys use that get these 4s packs charged quicker?
