  • First time lipo parallel charging

    I'm looking to get a iMax B6 charger and a parallel board to charge my 4 Blade 200 batteries, I apreciate its a cheap charge but I'm not looking for speed just happy to charge 4 batteries at a time, any one else used this charger or can you offer an alternative without breaking the bank?

    thanks in advance

      Thanks Nick, how do you know when the charging is complete? On the standard supplied blade one the light goes out don't want to blow the house up!

        When charge complete the alarm will sound and the charger will stop.

              Hi there,the balance board i can find which will work is this

              Parallel Charging Board for 6 packs 2~6S (Bare Leads)

              Then solder these leads to board

              Female JST battery pigtail 12cm length (10pcs/bag)

              Cant see how else to do it

                Thanks Nick, have placed the order, first time I’ve used them, paid with PayPal in dollars? Have no idea where the items will be posted from!

                  You can change the currency in top right of the HK website. You can also select which warehouse to browse (the UK one is in Essex). The selected warehouse is shown on the top of the menu on the left - be default it's the "Global warehouse" I believe.

                  edit: not all warehouses have all items. sometimes you need to use the european or global warehouse to get the item you want.

                    I think the balance board was only in stock in Global warehouse in Hong Kong,which should take between 1-2 weeks to deliver,so i should think thats where you ordered from,and its fine paying in dollars,paypal convert it after sale into uk pounds.
