IMAX B6 Ultimate - Any good?

[dani_r]

Evening all!

A friend of mine is looking to get this charger, but I don't have any experience with it. I think the appeal for him was that it has a mains plug, but that's new to me.

He only has a 450 at the moment but will most likely get something bigger later. I've advised him on other chargers, but this is the one he's interested in.

Any help is, as always, much appreciated!

Thanks

They are ok as a basic charger. Had a B6 for two years without any problems but you do get what you pay for.

Any idea about the mains adaptor part? Does it still produce the full charging capacity off the mains?

Up to 200w with a decent PSU, I don't think this is a mains charger - I'll go and have a look at the spec.....

This is the one he's looking at. Can't tell if there's a mains plug there just underneath?

Damn my feeble eyes!

So, if it was you, for that sort of money, what would be your choice?

I personally like the icharger range. And when funds allow, I'll be treating myself to a PL8 and a direct feed to the local 11kv power grid ;-)
