RE: lipo charging
Adding to what has already been said, the answer to your question depends more on battery capacity, in mAH (milli-Amp-Hours), than on battery voltage.
I use 11.1 V LiPo, 2200 mAH on my clone 450 and charging at 1C (2.2 Amps) it takes from 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how long I flew.
