Description

The iMAX-B6AC is a versatile, dual-power digital smart balance charger engineered to service a wide array of battery chemistries including NiMH, NiCd, Lead-Acid (Pb), LiPo, Li-ion, and LiFe packs. Featuring an integrated AC switching power supply for universal 100–240V wall socket compatibility, alongside an 11–18V DC field input option, it provides flexible power management for workshops, pits, and remote field sites with individual cell balancing for up to 6 lithium cells.

Driven by an advanced microprocessor, the B6AC integrates essential safety and diagnostic tools including delta-peak sensitivity cut-offs, input voltage monitoring to protect vehicle batteries, internal resistance checking, and data storage for up to 5 battery profiles.

Note: Product images are for reference only; actual appearance, packaging, or included power cord plug types may vary slightly based on manufacturing batches.


Key Features

  • Dual AC/DC Power Flexibility: Operates seamlessly on standard 100–240V AC wall power via the built-in adapter or on 11–18V DC field power sources.
  • Microprocessor-Controlled Precision: Advanced digital firmware utilizes delta-peak sensitivity and individual cell balancing for safe, accurate charging.
  • Multi-Chemistry Compatibility: Fully supports 1–6S LiPo, Li-ion, LiFe packs, alongside NiCd, NiMH, and 2–20V Lead-Acid (Pb) batteries.
  • Internal Resistance Diagnostics: Built-in checker allows you to inspect pack health and spot failing individual cells before use.
  • 5-Pack Data Memory: Save and recall user configurations and charging parameters for up to five different battery profiles.
  • Comprehensive Safety Suite: Features input voltage monitoring (protects field car batteries), capacity limits, processing time cut-offs, and thermal thresholds.

Benefits

  • All-in-One Workshop Solution: Built-in AC power supply eliminates bulky external adapters for convenient desktop or benchtop operation.
  • Preventative Field Protection: Input voltage monitoring ensures you won’t accidentally drain your vehicle’s car battery when powering the unit trackside.
  • Precise Pack Conditioning: Storage charge, battery break-in, and cycling functions help extend the overall operational lifespan of your battery inventories.
  • Versatile Cable Suite: Includes an EU-plug IEC power cord and an extensive assortment of output adapter leads for varied battery hookups.
  • Cost-Effective Versatility: Provides robust diagnostic and balancing features tailored for everyday hobbyist maintenance needs.

Applications

  • RC Car & Truck Maintenance: Essential desktop or pit charger for managing 2S–3S LiPo drive packs and NiMH receiver batteries.
  • FPV Drone & Multirotor Flying: Reliable field charging station for powering up smaller practice flight packs between sessions.
  • RC Aircraft & Helicopter Field Kits: Multi-chemistry charging hub adaptable to mixed fleets of lithium and nickel-based flight packs.
  • Workshop Battery Storage Prep: Convenient station for routine storage preparation, discharging, and health monitoring.
  • Mobile Field Operations: Dual AC/DC inputs allow easy transition from workshop wall sockets to vehicle battery terminals or field power stations.
