Have been using it for more than year and no issues. Only draw back is, it has no HV charge mode (only if you have 1s whoop lipos) Also no option to check lipo internal resistance.

Like does it cause the lipos to puff up? And i need it for a 3 cell lipo Title: Re: IMAX B6 :your opinion please...

And i need it for a 3 cell lipo Lipos get puffed due to: 1. Storing at full charge instead of 50%,, ~3.85v 2. Drawing more current than rated capacity 3. Possibly by fast charging, but i don’t know this for sure. Recommend contacting Quadkopters.com. Title: Re: IMAX B6 :your opinion please...

Overall its very improved on the already awesome B6 previous version.

Post by: Mehul Anand on June 01, 2019, 08:48:41 AM You also need to calibrate the balance plugs, it was charging my cells 0.05 v less.
Title: Re: IMAX B6 :your opinion please... Post by: pnkyjs on June 02, 2019, 10:46:31 AM Is there a reason or even any way(simple and economical) to calibrate the original B6 , i thought it was ok. And used its reading as a standard to calibrate my multimeter. Been using B6 since 2 years with no issues, my lipos rarely puff , as i put them into storage mode.
