Imax B6 Charger - Large Tamiya Battery

[darkspark88]

Hi there,

Brand new to airsoft, and have been buying up my base kit. Recently my Imax B6 charger arrived and it appears to not have a cable that will charge my large tamiya battery. Firstly, it would be great if somebody could tell me whether this is normal (I purchased the geniuine charger) and secondly, if I need to buy an additional cable, what they would suggest?

I've attached a picture of all the cables and the battery if that helps diagnose what I need.

Thanks for your time.

I got a multi cable of ebay some time ago and it had pretty much every connector known to man.

Thanks Mickydoos. I bought the one suggested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Charge-Lea...item461359969d

It's a little more expensive, but it has more cables than the cheaper one, so probably better to futureproof myself in this case.

Thanks again.

I thought I had read somewhere that you could use the crocodile clips for the tamiya connector.

Mine came with large tamiya, then all the adapters connect to that. Thus proving mine is fake. It still charges though!

OP: If you have a spare large tamiya to connect into the batteries then just cut one of the leads you do not use and solder/heatshrink the connector on.
I would not use crocodile clips long term as the chance to touch and short the battery is a risk that seems unnecessary
