Very clear all the way with explaining each detail. I wish everyone was as detailed as this. Leaves me with no questions, you have a new subscriber. Peace!

I received one of these yesterday. I ordered it after watching this overview. I looked through my 'wire box' which is in a storage facility, couldn't find one with high enough voltage and all that. Then today I went into my boot for some things I had left in there and noticed an old Energizer rechargeable setup I've been meaning to bin. The power adapter for that? Perfect. 16V, 4A out. Amazing luck. :)

Way better instructions in your video than the ones in the original booklet! Many thanks bro!!

Thank you for this video, you fully answered any questions I had and the links in the description helped me the trouble of find this ( PS I did a quick search and the prices were way more the the ones in the links)

Amazing video ! Bought my first RC Car, with 6500 mah Lipo 2S 50C, and fast charger. So your video was great knowledge for me. 3 things want to ask. 1) I already charged twice my battery on balance mode, but never heard BEEP or "FULL' on screen.. Voltage read 4.20 for both cells for few minutes and so I thought I better unplug everything or else I might over charge. Should I wait more, or whats wrong here ? 2) Can I charge it at 6A since I have 6500 mah battery ? Or even 5A ? Both time, I did at 3A only as precaution. 3) With fear of going below 3V low, I want to install buzzer or beeper in my RC Car so that I can stop playing with it on time. How to go about it ? Any video showing how to do this ? Thanks again

You can buy a version of this charger called the B6ac which plugs straight in to mains power as well as having the 12v input. I find it’s very handy to have that flexibility.

Having to connect the Deans as well as the JST indicates that individual cells are taking the combined current of all cells in 'balanced charging' mode. This will shorten their cycle life. Perhaps the 'balanced wires' are connected to a simple 'top balancer' module that discharges a fully-charged cell (keeping it below threshold) while waiting for the others to catch up from the high-current charge on the Deans until the target serial voltage is achieved. A true balanced charger would have 4-wire connections to each individual cell. Charge and voltage detection.

Excellent video. Just thought I'd let you know that if you're on balance charge you can check each cells voltage by pressing the status button and it will show each cells voltage while charging. Your videos are always great and I've watched every one of them. Thanks

This is an amazing video, thank you very much, i learned a LOT! I watched so many videos about charging batteries and most people always miss some minor things but in your video I thought you covered almost every question I was asking myself! Subscribed as well!

Hi Tigger's RC Reviews. At 5:00 you speak about the charger being rated at "5A MAX" for current, and you point out you are using a "4A MAX" power supply. That would actually be an error, as the supply has to AT LEAST be able to supply the Maximum the charger could draw, otherwise you may experience voltage drop on the supply causing undue stress on the chargers voltage regulation circuits. IMO It's really important people at least gain a basic understanding of the differences between Voltage and Current ratings on devices before they start playing around with Batteries that can Explode!!! I am new to RC hobby, but I have been doing Electronics since I was about 9yo, I am 39yo now, thanks so much for your informative video, but please make sure you're explaining things correctly, I certainly will be checking out some other videos too, to make sure I have the right info before I go buying things. Cheers.

Thank you for the tutorial. Just bought a new imax

Hello, thanks for this quite informative video. I've storaged my mavic air drone battery with a very low voltage for about 2 months, I think it completely ran out of charge now it doesnt even charge when I plug in the original DJI charger, is there a way I can recover this battery, using something like a balance charger, or is it gone forever?

Thanks for your video it was really helpful! Do you know if there are multiple chargers (like the ones for the 700mah batteries) for the big ones which have the yellow plastic connector (3000/ 5000mah) ? How many of those batteries would be okay to charge at the same time ?

Thanks for this really helpful video! I have a question, I have installed SkyRC ChargeMaster and it requires to set both Charge and Discharge amps. I understand how to calculate the charge A of my lipos, but how do I know what the discharge A is? Can you help me?

I am looking into buying a Hubsan H501S and extra batteries and accessories and your videos always pop up in my searches and always answer my questions. YOU ARE THE BEST!!

Amazing video!! To charge outside what kind of 12 volt battery you recommend to use?

Nice one Tigger thanks for easing my mind, have to say I was worried that I'd blow up my expensive lipo's or cause a fire, but your video has really opened my eyes to charging batteries. Thank you so much. ... Roy H

Very nice video. My genuine SkyRc IAMX B6, is on the way from Banggood. I've been watcing lots of videos and have a question - After charging, say 2, 1-cell 350 mAh batteries at 0.7A, will the charger "buzz" a sound when they are finished?

Thank you so much for posting , this is the very best , clear explanation on KZfaq !

Great video. May I know why discharge rate for storage can’t go beyond 1.0A? Thanks.

Great tutorial brother also I like the elastic band idea to . Well done 👍👊👍👊

Thanks for the great tutorial. I was a bit nervous beginning the drone hobby because of the learning curve of the battery charging - this video made me a lot more confident. Thanks!

I was unable to fly. I balanced my batteries and drained them with the storage feature. A few years passed. they wouldn't charge at the normal amp rate. It wouldn't start. I used a lower rate and it started. They came back, in perfect balance too. This is a good video. I don't have a bag but use a ceramic pot on a cement floor. I once saw a lipo set a car on fire. Went through the seat to the ground.

介绍的很仔细,真心谢谢你,也解决了我的一个充电错误

The grin on my face when you showcased your rubberband charge system. You really do find a reason to use them for anything, don't ya :D This video is much better than the manual I guess it's coming with (ChinEnglish), I've got the B6AC V2 incoming.

What a great video on how Lipobatteries are explained and very thorough charging instructions. I bought this charger and love it everything about it is great I wish the alarm was louder though.

hi trigger I've followed your instructions, when holding start it keeps coming up with low voltage I've set the correct voltage and amp.... any ideas? Thanks

Can this also measure capacity? If it can, does it do the whole full charge, test discharge and recharge to storage?

This is the BEST video I have seen on this charger. Immense help to me!

Thanks for the video, the level of detail was perfect for what I needed to know

You omitted a couple of key points 1. While charging and storage charging you can note the balance charging voltages for each cell this gives an indication of each cell life. 2. When charging several cells at the same time(parallel charging) you MUST ensure all the battery packs are of a similar voltage at the start

Great video, I have some LiPo batteries for my Yuneec Q500 drone, they are 3s /11.1 volts. I left them charged for several months, didn't know I should have put them in storage mode. what should I do NOW? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for this. I just got one of these from a coworker for $20. Just got a used Typhon 6S.

Thank you so much. I needed this video bigtime. I would have never figured out how to start the thing...or how to figure out the amps!

Spot on. Everything. Used an imax for years.

Where can I buy a female T plug to EC2 female connecter for B6 charger

Great video!!! So helpful putting the battery that i own as an example! I just bought the eachine racer 250 mini quad and this balance charger looks great for me. Thank you!

quick question... how do and what would i use to power on the unit? the instructions didnt say anything but how do i get power to the unit so i can discharge my massive 8000mah 3s lipo for my xmaxx... please help.. thanks -pete

hi so can i charge a 400mah battery on a 500mah charger or will it smoke/explod

Are there any chargers that incorporate isolation circuitry that responds to unexpected temperature fluctuations?

Just a note while watching this great video: Input (12v DC) is not "MAX 5A". It draws more current as it needs it and if you read it from the manual and it said something along the lines of "Max 5A drawn from mains socket" it means exactly that. Max amperage draw from your input source is 5 amps. :) This of course means that you can use basically any power supply that is 12V and 5A minimum to charge everything at all amps. If you would charge at max power the charger can output and you had a 4A power supply. The power supply would cut out at 4 amps and the charger would turn off along with the power supply.

Spot on glad I found this clip I've never used a balanced charger before. But have had to buy one. So I know how to use it THANKS MAN. Will the charger work with a balance board?

Great video just purchased one of these you have been a big help thankyou

I have 3000mAh lipos with this exact charger. What number should the bottom right corner show to full charge? Thanks alot

I have an Arris 14.8v 1500mah 50c 4s lipo battery and when I charge it on balance mode I've noticed the voltage has gone up to 16v, is this bad or is this normal?

I have one like this and everything works except, charge in balance mode and balance battery . Work couple seconds and then on the screen at mah shows 0 and stay like this hours . In simple mode charge in series reach's at the end, but in balance mode charge or balance battery do nothing . You tasted yours it's ok ? Thanks

It's been a bit but i got 2x Turnigy High Capacity 12000mAh 6S 12C Lipo Pack w/XT90 batteries. I technically could charge with 12A? Or with 6A, its slower but more accessable in terms of PSU's, correct?

How to you know the amount of charge? My old charger shows a % fuel. My 3s are showing 4.0 each right now, but the charger in your video shows 11.1 V

I would like to charge my Soshine 9V 6F22 Li-po battery with a Imax B6 Mini. Need advice on the 2 cells socket cables for the balance socket. How do i wire it to the 9V 6F22 battery. I have no idea how this goes. The li-po battery only has a plus and negative, no wires sticking out.

i left my lipo full for over a year and its fine. used it and it worked fine and first time i charged it the internal resistance was weird. but after few cycles it was fine

Usually do you balance charge it or just regular charge ?and which one is safer?

Will this connect to a EC5 lipo battery?

Great tutorial but my I-max didn’t come with the deans lead I had to buy one separately of which the company I bought the I-max off ended up paying for as all my batteries are deans. I’ve had the charger sat since Monday and I’m waiting for it. I’ve not been able to charge my lipo’s and run my cars I’m very frustrated with it all!! 🙈

Very nice. Fantastic instruction and description. Thank you.

When you say "it flashed full", how charged is this? 100% ? Does it leave a safety margin? How can you tell?

Hi Tigger, no-one seems to have a video on how to wire the outputs of the iMAX B6 V2, to charge a Hubsan Drone's LiPo 4200mAh 11.4v 47.9Wh battery, since it has 3 cells and 4 wires. The IMAXacB6 has 3, 4, 5, & 6 outputs; but the iMAX B6v2 only has a 6 pin conductor plug, plus the (-), (as well as the + and - output). I can't seem to find any videos or manual diagrams on what the balanced outputs would wire to, on the Hubsans' red, white, white, black wired cable. Any Idea how I should wire it?

Just ordered the Imax B6 mini. Been toying with the idea for a few months but you have sold me on the idea. Hope it works the same as yours as this video is replacing the instruction manual lol

I was about to buy the Tenergy balance charger but saw this one for cheaper . I want to use it for hitec batteries.. which one would you recommend???

Why do you have to connect the battery to two ports. meaning one for the deans and one for the smart charger function. If you do a balance charge shouldn't you disconnect the deans ?

So should I balance the cells before I put the battery into storage mode?

thanks man ...!!!! you are awesome 🙂🙂🙂

Great video, very informative. Thank you!

just bought this charger and a couple of 2S 2200 batteries, and wanted to put them on storage charge, but when I did so the voltage just went up from 7.57v until the charger pinged and said the battery was full. Is this correct or do I have a problem?

I’m new to lipo. If the lipo battery charges from the wire with white plug 4 prongs say. Why do lipo charges come with all these plugs. Ex. Deans, trx etc?

Excellent video and it'll be a great help. Many thanks.

hey i have a 2250 mAh 4 Cell 14.8 volts high discharge lithium polymer battery from lumenier. the discharge is 35C and the bursdt is 70C. what charger do you recommend for me? i have looked everywhere but nothing has come up !

Hello, what advise would you give one who wants to charge using the turnigy p403 ac/dc charger

Nice explanation of this charger, I just got one from amazon and it charged my 5000 mah lipo in 28 minutes rather than about 4 hours on my old charger

Great video man. Just one question. When you want to store your battery, you suggested to just go and fly the drone to lower battery. What happens if you fly it for to long and therefore you need to charge it again for storage. Do you still use the “Lipo storage setting”?

Whats the difference between this unit and the B6AC V2. You said you shouldn't use the battery once the voltage gets below a certain point, how do you know when you're flying your plane when to stop?

Hi does this charge and discharge lithium ion 18650 batteries as well if they were placed into a holder

Nice informative video. Cheers mate. Thumbs up was a big help! Safety first!

Does someone know why it says connection break when i just plug in the white connector while balance charging. I have to connect the xt30 also for being able to charge ( even tho thats a discharge cable) Any help truly appreciated.

Should I always balance charge my battery ? Or just normally charge it , and after 3-5 cycles I balance charge it

Hi Tigger, when using the multi cable for charging the single cells (all150mAh cells); do the cells have to be at the same state of charge before charging or very close to each other? Is it possible to over charge any of the cells. If I’m charging 4 x 150 mAh cells I would set the charging current to 0.6A ?

Awesome video. I learnt a lot from this 👍🏻👍🏻

Do you put the charger in the fire proof bag also ?

Question: i have a 2.0 A but when i charge it is not going up more then 0.6. Is there something wrong with my batt?

Do you know why my two lipo batteries wont charge all the way to the mah capacity? I got a 4000mah and a 5200mah and none charges even half way

Hi my friend, in my b6mini i have one option more(c=) can you tell me what is this option????

Will it charger gearstock?. Tengery?. And or volken batterys??? Me and my brother need one

great info. Does the charger actually alert you when its finished charging the battery?

So does the storage charge discharge the battery to 3.8 or charge it to 3.8?

Do you have a video about calibration?

Great video, last decent RC I had was a Traxxas Summit so I know nothing about these New Lip batteries.

Hi Tigger's RC Reviews I have this exact same charger and I would like to know how to use it to charge my B&D cordless drill battery. The charger for the drill battery has packed up and I bought a new battery for the drill, NiCad, (as I originally thought it was the battery that was at fault), which I now need to charge using this charger. The drill voltage is 18V. Should I charge the battery at a higher voltage than this? A reply would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. Love the videos. Keep up the good work.

Great video, thanks for the info!

Hi Triggers Rc Do you know a way how to balance the Dji tb47's batteries.

Excellent and very well explained review thanks. All my questions were answered.

This has been my frustration with having so many drones. Storing all the 3.7v (single cell) batteries. I only have a couple of 2 cell. Never sure when I would be flying each drone again? They can sit for a long time. If I did not "storage" charge them - OK if they were left as NOT fully charged? Again, most of mine are the small 3.7v JST plug type single cell ( 150 mah - 600 mah)

hi i have doubt so my batteries are 11.1v 450 mah but on the charger we can only choose 400mah not 450 so what value do I put it on

I’ve got a Gens Ace 14.8v 5500mAh 45C LiPo battery.. it’s fine to charge at 5.5A isn’t it? Booklet doesn’t really explain what is safe etc ... only what everything is.

if i charge a 1500 battery at 0.8mAh the battery is going to charge to that rate ? or it is necesary that i charge it at the same rate it says in the battery

What are the small white connector on the side , for balance charging , called ?

hi great video. can you tell me how to charge 6 AA NiCad batteries in series with the imax b6 ? how do you manually set the cut off voltage? what should you set the charge current at if each battery is 1500 mah ? thx

Very informative man! I bought mine and the seller always say that i will refer to yt vid on how to use it.

7:53 do you buy the converter separately? What is the name of the converter?

Please tell me mate what does smart charge on this charger do??

Does anyone know hoe to charge D cells (1,2V 10000mah) with this charger?I cant figure out how to get the right settings,Thanks very much for answering! Great review!

I have a question how many time charge lipo battery first time ??????
