imax b6 noob question

drifterex

Sorry, this is a newbie question, but I've gotten a Lipo battery for my g&g Sr25, but I've never used a Lipo before. Does anyone have this charger, as I looked at YouTube videos, and they all connect the battery to the output side on the right hand side, but on my charger they only have female end connector. On the left hand side it has crocdile connectors, which I do have male ends for to charge batteries, and it does have Lipo written on that side. I know, it's prob a stupid question, but don't want to burn the house down

It looks to me as if you have a clone/copy of the Imax B6
The left side is the input (power in) and the right side is the output (charge)
The crocodile clips are for connecting to a car battery very handy for charging during a game when no mains power is available

When charging a Lipo battery with a Imax you need to connect to both the output lead Tamiya connector and also connect the balancer plug to the body of the charger also on the right side

Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. Could just get someone to make me up a male Tamiya to male small Tamiya connector and I'll be in business then. Strange thing is all the connections that came with it are the female ones (as in the first pic), so all the same as the battery connectors, so I'll have to get adapters to fit anything.

Maybe I'll just buy a different charger altogether.

There is no need for a different charger as the Imax is one of the best there is
All you need is to change the Tamiya connector on the charge lead Mid West Airsoft do a range of leads for changing from Deans to Tamiya and from Tamiya large to small
