Title: B3 pro compact charger battery connected opposite polarity or connection
Post by: Maulik on September 18, 2018, 08:21:15 PM

I have a IMAX RC B3 pro compact charger and by mistake I connected my 3s battery in the opposite side/polarity to the charger . The charger stopped charging and only one red light is showing when I plug it in . Please help me if you have any knowledge about it. I have opened it but their is not even a single burn or destroyed trace mark. Please help :banghead:

same thing happened to me.. i also opened and saw that no burned parts as such.. guess it cant be repaired.. some component or fuse or so must be damaged..
:( :( :(

now i first connect the balance lead then power on the charger.. that way helps prevent shorts.. even though manual says to power on and then connect the balance lead... hmm

hi..

under 1000 i guess you find only B3 compact.. those are good.. but have to careful to maintain polarity.. and also takes long time to charge..

these are good ones for faster charging.. there are genuine ones also.. but costlier.. but recommend to invest in good original chargers like skyrc a one time investment..

regards...
