RC Balance Charger Imaxb6AC 80W 6A Ni-MH Ni-CD LiFePO4 RC Drone Battery

Features:

Power and Charging Capacity

High - Wattage Output: The IMAX B6AC has a powerful 80 - watt output. This high power allows for efficient and relatively fast charging of a wide range of batteries. For example, it can quickly recharge high - capacity Li - Po batteries used in remote - controlled (RC) vehicles or drones, reducing the waiting time between uses.

Variable Charging Current: The charger offers a wide range of charging current options. It can provide a charging current from 0.1A to 6.0A. This flexibility enables users to choose the appropriate charging rate according to the battery's capacity and the desired charging speed. For instance, for a small - capacity battery that doesn't require a high - current charge to avoid overheating, a lower current like 0.5A can be selected.

Battery Compatibility

Multiple Battery Chemistries: It is compatible with various battery chemistries. It can handle Li - ion, Li - Poly, Li - Fe, Ni - Cd, Ni - MH, and Pb batteries. This versatility makes it a useful tool for different applications. For example, it can be used to charge the Li - Poly batteries in a portable electronic device as well as the Ni - MH batteries in a toy.

Wide Range of Cell Counts: For lithium - based batteries (Li - ion, Li - Poly, Li - Fe), it can manage 1 - 6 cells. For Ni - Cd and Ni - MH batteries, it can handle 1 - 15 cells, and for lead - acid (Pb) batteries, it can work with voltages ranging from 2V to 20V. This extensive compatibility means it can be used to charge batteries for a diverse range of devices, from small handheld electronics to larger battery - powered equipment.

Balancing Function

Cell Voltage Balancing: The IMAX B6AC features a built - in balancer for lithium - polymer batteries. It can perform balanced charging on 2 - 6 - string lithium - polymer batteries. During the charging process, it monitors and adjusts the voltage of each cell to ensure that they are charged evenly. This is crucial for maintaining the performance and lifespan of the battery pack. For example, in a 3S Li - Po battery pack (3 cells in series), the charger will make sure that each cell reaches the same voltage level at the end of the charging cycle.

Discharge Balancing: It also has the ability to balance cell voltages during the discharge process. If the voltage of a single cell becomes abnormal during discharge, the charger can detect it and take appropriate action, such as stopping the discharge to prevent damage to the battery.
