Description
The IMAX B6 80W 6A Charger/Discharger (Copy Version) bundled with a DC 12V 5A 60W Power Adapter is an advanced, microprocessor-controlled multi-chemistry charging solution designed for RC hobbyists and workshops. Capable of charging, balancing, and discharging Li-ion, LiPo, LiFe (A123), NiCd, NiMH, and Lead-Acid (Pb) batteries, it provides precise power management with individual cell balancing for up to 6S packs.
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 delivers reliable everyday versatility. Note: The bundled 12V 5A adapter provides up to 50W of maximum charging power; upgrading to a higher-amperage power supply is required to unlock the full 80W / 6A output capacity.
Note: Product images are for reference only; actual appearance, packaging, or included power cord plug types may vary slightly based on manufacturing batches.
