Heard you can use an IBM T40 charger..
I suppose higher A would be good.
I used an adaptor with max 1A output and sure enought, can only charge at 1A.
once i set at 2A charge, the input error occurs. Good charger so far IMHO.

for my 2 new 3S1P 1300mah batt results are:
1st and 2nd cycle balance charge at 0.8A :4.17, 4.19, 4.13
3rd and 4th cycly balance charge at 0.8A upon complete balance charge again at 0.1A : 4.19, 4.20, 4.15.
BTW for charging 2 x 3S1P do i need the 6S balance tab harness?

For charging 2x 3s batt at same time u dn need to mod.. Just wait for jethobby to bring in the connector..which he told me will be comming in soon..
So how...any planes yet....?

planes not yet leh!
for the connector do you mean the deans parallel connector? or the balancer tabs ? imax b6 new version balance charge using the balancer tabs.
Originally posted by mtyw8888hey bro.. Heard from some members here that they are having the same problems.. Yr balance for each cells u just indicate was so far apart..mine was like 0.01 diffs after measuring with the muiltmeter.. I beileve yr cells are not right..The sad thing abt this charger is it cant pull the voltage to 4.19-4.20. But some say they can reach after using the power supply mode frm the pc.

Hi bros, anyone of you managed to resolve the charging/balancing issue? I bought a lipo indicator and realised that my 3S chargers on the B5 seem to end up at 4.07,4.13,4.07. Same reading for 2 batts so far, still checking out the rest of my batts.
Otherwise end up after charging with the B5, still need to put it through the cheapo balance charger to fully charge the batts???

Thanks for the quick response bro. Seems like it's pretty consistent reading with the lipo indicator :
B5 -> 4.07 4.13 4.07
Cheapo balance charger -> 4.13 4.18 4.13
Looks like I'll have to charge through the cheapo charger after charging through the B5 everytime? Will try to get my hands on a multimeter to see the actual voltage, but looks like the cheapo charger is able to give a fuller charge huh?
