The 4 amp charger I linked charges a 4s starter box battery from dead to full in less than an hour. mah is mah, cell count doesn't matter as long as the charger can put out the voltage to charge them.

A 4000mah 1s pack charged at 4 amps (1c) will take about an hour.
A 4000mah 2s pack at 4 amps, about an hour.
A 4000mah 15s pack at 4 amps will also take about an hour.
