Default Hyperion LiPo's. Are they good?

I attended our club swap meet this weekend and found out about a new LiPo that can be charged very rapidly (5C?). I have been using 4S 5000 mAh Blue LiPo's but they have been taking 90+ minutes to charge. I was told about Hyperion LiPo's and being able to charge them in as little as 15 minutes. Does anyone have any experience with Hyperion?

This also brings up another question: chargers! To charge a 5000 mAh battery at 5C would require a charger that can put out 25 amps! Is there such a charger? It may be pointless if my chargers max is 5 amps.

So, what do you all know?
