106b+ is a great little charger packed with features, highly reccomended

Charge time will depend on how you have it setup

With the following settings

lipos balance charge mode
lipo balance speed - low
Lipo balance setting - storage
lipo trickle - off

It will take 80 mins or so to fully charge

Charging can be sped up by changing the above settings

For the fastest charge you would use

lipo balance speed - fast
lipo balance setting - cv phase

This would bring it down to 60 mins or so

Those times are at a 1c charge rate, would be faster if your batteries are capacle of higher


Those chargers can be found a little cheaper if you shop around

Try progressiverc.com or hobbyking

I suggest you get the balance breakout board as well as it makes connecting the packs a little easier than doing it directly on the unit itself

Cheers
