iMAX B6-AC B6AC Li-po Battery Balance Charger

Introduction: 

The new IMAX B6 (successor of IMAX B5) is a very advanced microprocessor controlled charger able to charge, balance and discharge Lion, LiPo, LiFe (A123), Pb, NiCd and NiMH batteries. Significant improvements includes: 

• Support new generation A123 system (LiFe) battery. 
• Thermal probe: the most important safety feature to avoid fire and explosion. 
• Charge up to 6 cells: allow charging of 6S and (multi) series charging of 2X3S or 3X2S. 
• Store function charge up lipo for recommend store voltage for long time and protect useful time of the battery. 
• Time limit function 
• Input voltage monitoring. (Protects car batteries at the field).

Special Features 
Optimized operating software 
B6 features the so-called AUTO function that set the feeding current during the process of charging or discharging. Especially for Lithium batteries, it can prevent to overcharging which may lead to an explosion due to the user's fault. It can disconnect the circuit automatically and alarm once detecting any malfunction. All the programs of this product were controlled through two way linkage and communication, to achieve the maximum safety and minimize the trouble. All the settings can be configured by users ! 

Internal independent Lithium battery balancer 
B6 employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It isn't necessary to connect an external balancer for balance charging. 
Balancing individual cells battery discharging. 
During the process of discharging, B6 can monitor and balance each cell of the battery individually. Error message will be indicated and the process will be ended automatically if the voltage of any single one cell is abnormal. 
Adaptable to various type of lithium battery 

B6 is adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion, LiPo and the new LiFe series of batteries. 
Fast and storage mode of lithium battery 
Purposes to charge Lithium battery variess, 'fast' charge reduce the duration of charging, whereas 'store' state can control the final voltage of your battery, so as to store for a long time and protect useful time of the battery. 

Maximum safety 
Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program based on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection. When the battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the process will be terminated automatically. 

Automatic charging current limit 
You can set up the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiCd or NiMH battery; it is useful for the NiMH battery of low impedance and capacity in the 'AUTO' charging mode. 

Capacity limit 
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when you set the maximum value. 

Temperature threshold 
The battery's internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of the battery to rise. If the temperature limit is reached, the process will be terminated. 

Processing time limit 
You can also limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect. 

Input power monitoring 
To protect the car battery used as DC input power from being damaged, its voltage keeps being monitored. If it drops below the lower limit, the process will be ended automatically. 

Data store / load 
The maximum five batteries's data can be stored for users' convenience. You can keep the data pertaining to program setting of the battery of continuous charging or discharging. Users can call out these data at any time without any special program setting. 

Cyclic charging / discharging 
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge > discharge or discharge > charge is operable for battery refreshing and Balancing to stimulate the battery's activity.
