Description
The IMAX B6 80W 6A Charger/Discharger (Copy Version) is a highly versatile, microprocessor-controlled multi-chemistry charging solution tailored for RC hobbyists and workshops. Capable of charging, balancing, and discharging Li-ion, LiPo, LiFe (A123), NiCd, NiMH, and Lead-Acid (Pb) batteries, it delivers precise power management with individual cell balancing for up to 6S packs at currents ranging from 0.1A to 6.0A.
Equipped with essential safety features such as input voltage monitoring to protect field vehicle batteries, delta-peak sensitivity cut-offs, storage charge modes, and memory storage for up to 5 battery packs, the IMAX B6 provides dependable everyday utility. Note: This is a bare unit package; an external 11–18V DC power supply and JST-XH balance boards/plugs are not included and must be purchased separately.
Note: Product images are for reference only; actual appearance, packaging, or included power cord plug types may vary slightly based on manufacturing batches.
