without breaking bank...

try a used Astro 109...up to 9 cells and with a very inexpensive minor modification can charge A123.

You didn't mention what the capacity of your pack is and that would be helpful for a recommendation :-)

One of the important things to keep in mind when you are looking at chargers for larger packs is the total output wattage. Here is an example of why this is important.

6S packs runs at 25.2v fully charged
Let's say it is a 5000mAh pack for the example
The 1C charge rate for this pack is 5A

To charge this 6S pack at 5A the charger would need an output power of at least 126 watts. ( Volts X Amps = Watts )

In this example if you were to use a charger that only had an output power of 50 watts, you could only charge the pack at just below 2 Amps, so it would take over twice as long to charge the pack compared to another charger.

I know this is more information than you were looking for, but let us know what the capacity of the pack is and we can help you better.. :-)
