Decrease-Start does not work on my charger. Is the calibrate menu not available at all for some firmware versions? If so, I'll load new firmware.

Useful to know. I tend to use another branded battery checker after using my B6, and it is always a little on the low side (i.e. the safe side).That said the B6 does do a pretty good job of balancing the cells with a max diff of 0.02 volts which I can live with.

a clone imax. You should add it to description. Nice helpful video

good video!

I, myself, rather it undercharge. Mine is also a knock off and I know they don't read voltage very well, so I rather it thinks it's 4.2 per cell when it's actually 4.15 than the other way around. Besides the reduced risk of lipo fire, undercharge will also increase battery life.

Hey what If I can't get into the menu while holding down the keys nothing happens?

problem is that calibration doesn't account for individual cell imbalance.. you need to either charge each cell separately to make a very balanced pack OR build a precision resistor voltage divider to calibrate the unit

has anyone had an issue with it booting right into discharge battery mode? i cant fix it..

Erik740t how did you get it to charge without the balance plug plugged in.

Very helpful info thanks. I just bought a Dynamite Prophet Precept charger. When I balance charge the charge will stop at 96% actual full but reads at 100% full. I went to use your calibrate method and found the charger to be correct in the voltage reading. So after balance charging a battery I have to put it in charge mode to top off at your suggested .2 amps and works fine at 99% full. Is this a common with lipo chargers to work this way?

I see a lot of confusion here, would you mind moving the camera closer in, to then better see the buttons and view the screen? Thanks.

Hello, is the calibration done only once ? Or is it done with every battery that is going to be charged? Thanks

Good video? Not working in imax b6 mini?...

I got a real Sky RC IMax B6 and you can't calibrate it I tried but it's not necessary. It's spot on when compared to a calibrated Fluke meter.

What meter are you using?

calibrating .... can you do it several times, or just once? (read it was only posibile to do it one only time?)

I tried it with the clone B6 mini and no luck. It was a cheap 20$ charger so I got it as my ISDT Q6 plus will only balance charge and the battery for my QX7 cannot be balance charged so I figured why not. I knew in advance this would probably not charge correctly as they are not calibrated very well from the factory. Hopefully, someone will know how to do this

When I press the two buttons this menu will not come up?

For Dec and enter Shows: System update Please Wait... ? But its in ACv2

I bought the same charger and it was way out of whack, now it’s calibrated

anyone know if you can make the screen brighter on this charger?

my imax b6ac is showing wrong voltage of the cells, i know my 6 cells are 3.8v but the charger is charging saying they are all over the place, 4.11v etc. damn.

You have to do this to every battery???

nice camera position! :)

ya i just ordered this and from what ive heard on the fake ones it can lock the charger up turning it into a paper weight so i WONT be attempting. If it charges a little under then thats better than over so oh well

tq

thx However, I used this menu a year ago on another B6 (fake), and on the current one, this won't show up... No way to get this option. any idea ? (if this channel is still fed and messages read !)

How to calibrate your fake IMAX B6 the genuine one is spot on :).

Tried doing what you suggested and it locked my charger up and no longer works. Thanks!

Can’t see the screen of imax charger....charger is far to the camera...

My b6ac don't work this MODALITY! WHY===??

It won't work for me

How can you be confident that the meter you are calibrating to is more accurate than the charger was?

Is not work to my iMax b6ac dual power

Huh? You say you entered negative numbers to show the value determined by the meter? WTH?

Cannot see the charger display

sir i am having a lipo 14.8v 4600mah 4cell 68wh battery and when i set 14.8v and 4.6amp on the turo charger balance mode and trying to charge to charge the attery the charger is shutting down after 11 sec and restarting.what is the prolem.plss help

The problem with your calibration process is that you are relying on your multimeter as your "standard". When or has your multimeter ever been calibrated? The number of digits your meter will read is not accuracy, that is resolution, to be accurate, the meter must be calibrated against a standard of known PROVABLE accuracy. I used to work in a calibration shop, all our "standards" were calibrated against the national standard which in turn were calibrated against the world standard. Calibration is a chain, your multimeter is first or anchor link in your calibration chain, therefore the weakest link. Have you considered that your multimeter readings may be in error as well? What I would recommend is that you get your buddies over for pizza, have them all bring their multimeter with them and take a reading on your "standard" battery then average them and use a good stable well regulated variable power supply as your voltage "standard". Then carry on as per your video.

did not work on mine. I dont have the B-6ac. I just jave the regular B-6. Oh, and yes it is the fake.

Can any one help me??

dammit its not working it just goes straight to lipo charge

Doesn't work.

Filming too close

Best way to Calibrate that charger is throw it in the trash and buy a real charger

WHERE IS SKYRC LOGO?

Wash your dishes! :P

I would NOT do this.
