Advice on Chargers

So I'm flying my new hexacopter and I'm trying to maximize my air time. Spend the most time flying I can per day to improve my skills as quickly as possible.

I have logged 53.1 minutes today, and will get another 15 if my battery can finish charging quickly. Then I'm out of daylight.

I would like to get a charger that does multiple batteries. I now have a total of six batteries, it takes 2 per flight. They are 5,000mah LiPo, Hyperion ExG3, I would like to use 3,800-4,000 per flight (which will last me 18-20 minutes), then charge up multiples at once while flying the next set, etc.

Right now, it takes me 2-3 hours after each flight to charge up, at 60-90 minutes per battery and 2 batteries needed. And that leaves me with several in queue.

Can you please recommend a good 4- or 6- battery charger? I need to know every piece I will need to purchase to make it a complete set (as Tomstoy2 has told me that some chargers still need a power supply, and I don't know what power supply to get to match a charger...)

Thanks in advance for your help!

THis is my new set up.

I also got computer interface plug.

I wish I had got mine from here coz the place I got mine from did not tell me about the balcnce port connector needed to connect the balanceing board to the charger. The borad that comes with the charger is not JST.

If you want more info on this let me know.

I am waiting for the leads to arrive then I post more

That power supply looks identical the the SkyRC one (the manufacturer) and it's 50 bucks cheaper.
