David,
Most of the cheaper chargers are limited to 50W o/p power
which is ok for 1C charging of smaller 3 & 4S batteries but you may
well soon outgrow it.
Why not spend a little more on a higher Wattage one such as this
 
A 2.2 lb trainer only needs about 220W so a 3S Lipo of around 2500
to 3000mAH or so would be ok.
