This charger accurately balances and charges Lithium Polymer, LiFe (A123), NiCd and NiMH batteries. It will handle LiPo/LiFe up to 6S and NiMH/NiCd up to 15S and shows individual cell voltage during charge with realtime updates throughout the charge cycle.

The intuitive menu system means charging and cycling is an easy process and can be done quickly and accurately either in the field, by using a 12V input such as a car battery, or at home with a 12V power supply.

Bundled with the charger are a number of input and output wires which should satisfy most any charging requirement. This charger has a JST-XH charge plug, which makes it compatible with Zippy, HXT, iMax and any pack with a JST-XH adapter.

Note: A power supply is not included. The DC input jack is not the same as the standard 5.5mm size Sparkfun use. It has a larger pin diameter. Thankfully, it does come with a barrel jack to alligator clip adapter.

To power this unit we Recommend the 12V DC 5.0A Fixed 2.1mm Tip Switching Power Supply with 2.1mm to 2.5mm Adaptor and power cable.

Note: Although the enclosure is labeled as an Imax B6, this is not the same charger as the more expensive charger by the same name.
