I just did some poking around and people are charging at up to 4C rates. However, I didn't find anything about how this affects long-term cell life compared to 1C charging.

If you are going to charge 6s A123 at ~9A, you'll need a charger that has at least a 195W power limit, and a 12v power supply capable of at least 250w (~21A @ 12v).
