Title: Imax B6 (copy) ?
Post by: Chiragthelegend12 on March 13, 2018, 08:57:31 PM
Is the Imax B6 copy any good, or its better to stay with the genuine one?
Other than the Imax B6, is there any charger that's good?

Been using it for over a year. No problems except that it charges Lipo only till 4.15v, so there's some offset error. Model is B6AC.

Don't. Just do NOT use fake/copy ones.

Some are good, some are dangerous.
Man, you're charging something that's very dangerous if you do it in the wrong way.
Sure, a lot of LHSs sell them, but it just doesn't guarantee safety.

It's my sincere request, just don't go for them.

B6 series are good. You can trust them. Even E6 and E3 are good. If you're low on budget, go for E3; no display but gets the job done (provided you don't have a large battery)

All the mentioned chargers are from skyRC. I've recently heard of ISDT chargers, and that they're great. Contact Balakrishna regarding that. He seemed to have a couple of them.

If you're high on budget, go for Turnigy Reaktor series. One of the best in the market.

I have nimhs to charge too, so the 'E' series ain't gonna help me.
Btw what are ISDT(full form please ;D)
Any multi chemistry charger??

Edit: I found a genuine Imax B6, here's the link : https://robu.in/product/imax-b6ac-v2-professional-balance-chargerdischarger/ , im considering it good.

That's pretty expensive, but it will be genuine.

All the B6 series are multi-chemistry. You won't have to worry about that :)

Contact Balakrishna Reddy for more info about ISDT. He has a personal experience with them, more recent than I had. So, he will be in a better to position to explain it to you.

I suggest you to buy ISDT chargers. They are pretty awesome. I have it and very happy with its performance. It accuracy is too good.
I set the final voltage to 4.19 and the charger charges it to 4.2v which I measure using a multimeter. Cannot say which is accurate but yeah that's truly awesome.
If you are planning to buy one I would suggest ISDT chargers.

ISDT look cool, and they seem good too, from your experiences.
But it isn't a charger that would suite my needs, I need a charger that can charge nimhs too. Moreover, I need an AC charger.
Anyways, thanks for your advices, i think i'll go with the B6.

Oh, Didn't see it in the description on some other site(which I don't remember now).
Still It is a DC charger, out of my needs.

P.S. What was I suppose to pm? ;D
