The iMAX B6AC is a microprocessor-controlled charger for a wide range of battery chemistries. It charges, balances and discharges Li-ion, LiPo, LiFe (A123), NiCd and NiMH cells, including individual cell balancing for lithium packs.
This 80W charger handles packs up to 6S, includes input voltage protection and a storage charge mode, and can be powered from any 11-18V DC source or from AC mains. That flexibility is why the B6AC is such a common sight on RC and drone workbenches and in field boxes.
Its JST-XH charge plug fits many battery brands, including Zippy, HXT and Loong Max, and any pack with a JST adapter, so most hobby batteries can be balance charged without extra hardware.
AC 100-240V or 12V DC input: run it from the wall at home or from a car or field battery.
Fitted safety fuses: built-in protection for the charger and your packs.
Microprocessor-controlled charging: accurate control of every charge and discharge cycle.
Multi-chemistry: supports Li-ion, LiPo and LiFe, plus NiCd and NiMH.
Input voltage monitoring: protects the power source, such as a car battery, from being drained.
5 battery pack profiles in memory: store your favourite settings and recall them quickly.
Internal resistance checker: a quick indicator of pack health.
Individual cell balancing: keeps the cells of a lithium pack even.
A smart charger does more than push current into a battery. A microprocessor monitors voltage and current throughout the cycle, follows the charge profile that suits the battery chemistry and stops when the pack is full. For lithium packs, a balance connector lets the charger see each cell separately, so it can keep the cells at the same voltage.
Always set the charger to the correct chemistry and cell count, charge on a fire-safe surface and never leave a lithium battery charging unattended.
Good charging habits matter as much as the charger itself. Check that the battery is not puffed or damaged, let a warm battery cool down before you charge it, use a lead that matches the connector and keep the charge current within the limit recommended for the pack. Storing lithium batteries at a partial charge instead of full also helps them last longer, so use a storage function or discharge mode if you will not fly for several days.
