The absolute fastest you could charge a LiPo from a completely dead state to 100% charged would be about 40 minutes. That's assuming a 2C charge rate AND balancing while charging.
That said I completely disagree with the idea of using a NiCd/MH charger with Lithium cells. Adapter or not it isn't a smart idea.
