I go for Imax cos the 601BC fan run very loud ... I hate noise. And also heard that 601 have the software screw up sometime

If I ensure all the 3 cells are balanced to 0.02V difference, then dean charge should be good enough right?
Not necessary to balance and charge everytime.
More impt is to manage your amp draw and not to overfly the time given.Punggol Field Walk - Precision Landing Required!

For this charger. I have charged 2 lipos so far and the difference is within 0.02V among the 3 cells.
I used Balance Charge, and I realised the charger will actually discharge the lipo during charge to maintain even voltage. Impressive.
You guys should really get one. Really no looking back after buying it.

Hmm... guys, can confirm this Imax got discharge function? The datasheet doesnt seem to state. But I notice when I use " balance charge ", if I monitor the cells, the " Dchg" will appear when the cells are uneven and the voltage will drop... hmmm....
anyway for this lipo. Can state how much mAh i charge in!

The "Dchg" is to balance out the cells.
This is a good and reasonable price charger.
Not only can balance charge LIPO, it can also charge PB and NiMH.
Money worth..

I read through few site's spec on the Imax B5 and found this
" Current drain for balancing Li-po: 200mAh/cell ",
correct me if I'm wrong, but draining current means discharging right??
cheers!

Ok next I am going to try to use Lipo Charge instead of Balance Charge, using Dean connectors or Jst connectors. Pls correct me if I"m wrong below
1. If lipo is unbalance say 4.0V / 4.05V / 4.0V, and I charge it using dean.
2. The centre lipo will overcharge as to meet the 12.6V cutoff, the outcome will be, if all cells at even current charge, be 4.183V / 4.233V / 4.183V.
3. This means the 2nd cell will be overcharged while the 1st & 3rd will be undercharged.
Meaning, we must ensure all the cells are even voltage before using dean to charge. But even if it is even, IF the charge's measurement is inaccurate, it may reflect certain cell as lower or higher in voltage, resulting in cells being overcharged to reach the 12.6V cutoff.
??? Is this logical???
