I have a similar charger I bought a while back and someone figured out that 2 of the wires on the temp probe needed to reversed.

There is a ton if information on these chargers. Do a search on the Imax B6, accucell 6 and others like these and you will find out everything there is to know.

I put one package of the mud crystals in a 1 pint bottle of water and they filled it to the top.

With any online deal posted here you have to scan the thread to see whats up.

I started the thread below and never bought any planes so I would just read it but it took on a life of it's own. You can see the original deals are no longer available but there are other deals in it's place...wasn't my turn to baby sit the thread. Oh, the super chipmunk looks like a good deal just that the wing has to come off to change the battery or make a hatch.

I have to say this thread was very entertaining from the get go.

I did a search for "Imax B6" as recommended in a post above. I found a thread where people were changing out resistors to get the charger to stop the charge at a lower voltage and balance more accurately. Not sure if the same applies to this specific model. Judging from your experience it may. How far did you let it go before stopping?

Hello All,
I ordered 4 of these chargers and they arrived 2 days ago. I finally got around to testing them. 2 work fine, 2 are not working. One does not offer Lipo as a battery selection! No kidding, Nicad, nimh, and life are my only choices. The last one displays in hyrogliphics. A display problem no doubt. Maybe I can combine parts from the 2 to make one more good charger. Oh well, $36 for two and maybe three chargers.

JB

PS: Operator error on the one not showing Lipo as an option, it's fine. The other one with the display problem turned out to be a boot problem. I guess I must have slipped with the clip leads and caused it to get in a funny state on power up. 4 for 4, my bad. JB
