IMAX B6 AC Charger Discharger 1 to 6 Cells Dual Power 80W

The IMAX B6 AC Charger Discharger is a smart battery charging solution for users who work with multiple rechargeable battery chemistries. Its microprocessor-controlled design provides configurable charging and discharging functions for batteries commonly used in RC vehicles, drones, robotics, and DIY electronics.

The charger supports balance charging for lithium battery packs, allowing individual cell voltages to be monitored during the charging process. It also provides storage charging functionality, which is useful when rechargeable lithium batteries need to be prepared for longer-term storage.

The unit supports both AC and DC input. The built-in input voltage monitoring function can help protect a connected DC power source from excessive voltage drop during field operation.

How It Works

The IMAX B6 AC uses a microprocessor-controlled charging system to manage different battery types and charging modes. The user selects the appropriate battery chemistry, cell count, charging current, and required operating mode.

For lithium battery packs, the balance charging function monitors individual cells and helps maintain appropriate voltage levels across the pack. The charger can also perform storage charging for batteries that will not be used immediately.

For NiMH and NiCd batteries, the charger uses delta-peak sensitivity to determine when charging should stop. The unit also includes various limits and monitoring functions designed to help prevent inappropriate charging conditions.

Important Notes

• Always select the correct battery chemistry and cell count before starting a charge.
• Never leave a battery charging unattended.
• Use a suitable charging current for the connected battery.
• Inspect batteries for swelling, physical damage, leakage, or other abnormalities before charging.
• Operate the charger in a well-ventilated location.
