Very hard to find info on this on the internet so i made a little video. I think it works the same on all B6 chargers, the IMAX and all the clones that. IMAX Software Kit. IMAX Software Kit. QTY: Now save save $0.00. And for a imax B6 charger. Verified_user Quality.

I have bought the iMax B8 charger and I'm fairly happy with it but I don't see a thread that specifically gathers all information for the B8 into one place so I'm starting one here. Subjects that I'd like to get input on are: 1 The accuracy issue. In the iMax B6 thread there are data suggesting that, because the voltage sensing resistors used are 1% rather than 0.1% accuracy, this causes a dangerous problem of not having perfectly measured voltages for each cell. There is a fix for the B6 which involves changing some resistors and this is possible for the B8 but it involves rework of surface mount components and is not for the faint-hearted! I suspect that the importance of this issue may be over-stated but I'm open to looking at objective data. Also I bought mine from Hobby City after they said that new supplies of the charger from the manufacturer would fix issues associated with accuracy. 2 Understanding the Modes.

Apart from bad English in the manual, it simply has a missing section on what the LiPO Balance mode does. I'm not sure if the LiPO CHARGE balances while it charges although my observation of the B8's individual cell voltages in this mode seems to indicate that the charger is bringing the cells up to the same voltage. 3 The manual is awful!

We should try to get a revised one. 4 PC Software that works with the USB port would be nice to have. Any info on this would be useful. 5 Balancing leads for connecting 2S batteries, 2 x 3S, or 3 x 2S are something I'm already working on. Chrishan Forever Album more. Download Service Blueprint Of Hospital Pdf. I believe that there ought to be a 2S lead supplied in the box. I'm trying to contact SkyRC to get more info on some of these topics. Feel free to chip in here but please refrain from crass comments like 'should've bought a real one'; this is intended to be a self-help thread for those of us who have this product.

I have charged many 3S LiPos in LiPo CHARGE mode with the JST balance connector plugged in and I have monitored the individual cell voltages while charging. The charger brings each cell up to exactly 4.2 V indicated.

I've also tried the LiPo BALANCE mode a few times now, again with the JST balance connector plugged in. As far as my tests have gone, the LiPo BALANCE mode (that is not mentioned in the manual) seems to do exactly the same as the LiPo CHARGE mode. I sent an email to skyrc yesterday but have had no reply as yet.

Well, I have one coming as of last night. I was looking for a charger with more power than the 50W of the one I am using and the ability to charge LiFePO4 cells (that I don't have yet) and this one seemed too good to be real. Hope that old saying don't come back to haunt me. I was looking at the Mega Power Poseidon-860DS on the Hobby City website and stumbled accross the B8. The big selling point, for me, was that the firmware could be upgraded. As for PC software apparently LogView works with it, which is fine if you speak german. I hope that there is something else that will work with it too.

I hope that there is something else that will work with it too. Well still no reply from SkyRC and I have to say that the firmware on the B8 seems flaky at best; there is clearly an issue with the button debounce software as you often have to press the buttons 2 or 3 times for them to work and then you may get 2 presses. It also seems that iMax have moved on to a new improved B8 which may be what we need for improved accuracy?
