iMAX B6 80W Balance Charger E6168

RC hobbyists often struggle with chargers that are either too slow, incompatible with multiple battery chemistries, or lack safety features. The iMAX B6 80W Balance Charger E6168 solves these issues by delivering 80 watts of charging power, support for LiPo, LiFe, LiIon, LiHV, NiMH, NiCd, and lead-acid batteries, and a built-in balance port for safe, even charging of multi-cell packs. Its backlit LCD and intuitive interface make it easy to configure, while integrated protections guard against over-temperature, short circuits, reverse polarity, and over-charging.

Who is it for

This charger is ideal for RC car, drone, airplane, and boat enthusiasts who need a reliable, versatile charger for various battery types. It suits both beginners who want a straightforward charging solution and advanced users who require precise control over charge and discharge parameters. Whether you're maintaining a single 2S LiPo or cycling a 15-cell NiMH pack, the iMAX B6 handles it with confidence.

Tips

Always verify the battery type and cell count before starting a charge. Use the balance charge mode for multi-cell lithium packs to ensure each cell reaches the same voltage. Store batteries at the recommended storage voltage using the storage mode to prolong their lifespan. Keep the charger in a well-ventilated area and avoid covering the cooling fan during operation.
