I assume your\'re talking 6cell lipo? There is nothing wrong with an 0606i charger. It is a 50watt output charger though so for a 6S lipo at 22.2v, that charger will limit charging current to stay under the 50watt limit, You'll wind up with a charge rate of about 2amps. If you're looking at a high capacity 6S lipo, it's going to take some time to charge.

Most AC/DC chargers are 50watt - there's a 70watt one coming out, but that won't do too much better for a 6S. For AC/DC there really aren't any other options. Just be prepared to spend some time charging.

If you want the fastest way to charge a 6S, you need to look at a higher power output dc powered charger and a power supply.
