the thunder AC6 (i love mine) will charge a 2s 5000mah lipo in 1 hour. which will give you almost a half hour of runtime in the volcano.

The stock charger on the avalanche will take like 2 or 3 hours PER lipo. So, figure 5-6 hours to charge both packs. And you get about 15 minutes of runtime per charge.
So, if you get a avalanche or 8e, you will still want a better charger.

You can purchase them from Hobby King, also run the Turnigy Nano-Tech batteries and have had really good luck with the Lipos.  Both chargers require a ac/RC adapter. I converted a old power supply from a computer to one and run chargers on it. Works great with no issues!
