I want to buy a better charger so I can charge my lipos faster but I dont understand what kind of power supply I would need to get the full potential out of a charger that’s 200 plus watts and around 10 amps without getting a supply that’s too powerful for it?
 
I really like the M8 charger its 300 watts will charge at 15 amps. will do all the cells we use in rc has a test a ir test and a few others settings.. the toolkit m8 charger. I also have converted the ATX computer powersupply for use with my chargers.. its puts out 12.8volts and up to 40 amps. I have put 2 atx supplies together in series to get 25.6volts and 17volts.
 
This one has been noted as pretty good:

Capable on AC but gives the most watts on DC. A 24v/40A PSU should do fine with it. That would let you get the most out of it. (325Wx2/15Ax2 with input >=24V according to the manual)

Something like this would let you max out 2 of those chargers on the cheap:

Not knowing the packs you want to charge makes it hard to know what you need to charge at 2C which is as high as I go when charging.
