Talking Watts & Amps

First let me say I am electrically challenged. I got to the point where I understood charging and cycling Nicads and Nimh's. Now I have more planes using lipo's than I used to have flying with only glow.
So here is my question. How are Volts and Amps related in a power supply? I am using a Hitec X4 with 50watts per charging port. To power it I use an Electric Fly power supply with 12 amps. I am looking at another supply that out puts 24 amps. Does that mean I can charge my batteries in half the time? And that I will get up to 6 amps of out put on the 4 ports if I charge 4 batteries at the same time?
I am sure I will get this one of these days.
