Description
The SkyRC IMAX B6AC V2 is an advanced, genuine microprocessor-controlled AC/DC balance charger designed to eliminate workshop clutter by managing virtually all common battery chemistries in a single unit. Delivering up to 50W of charging power (5.0A max) and 5W of discharging power, it supports LiPo, Li-Ion, LiFe, NiCd, NiMH, and Lead-Acid (Pb) batteries, featuring individual cell balancing and terminal voltage adjustment for heavy-duty packs.
Equipped with dual power flexibility (100–240V AC mains or 12V DC field input), the B6AC V2 offers modern upgrade paths including PC connectivity, smartphone app control via an optional Wi-Fi module, and firmware upgradability. Complete with built-in battery metering, internal resistance testing, automatic current limits, and a comprehensive bundle of charging leads, it provides safe, reliable power management for robotics, hobbyists, and workshops.
