Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

you may have buggered up the battery when you soldered the bullets...too much heat going into the battery will fry it

Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

Founded? Hmm, interesting!

Yeah I'm out of ideas too. I'm almost 100% certain its a wiring problem. Can you borrow a friends lipo to test?

Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

Okay a couple things i tried but the one that matter is i put the lipo into the charger no connectors anywhere and still the same problem.

No, i dont know any one around me who plays let alone has a lipo lol

[JOE90]

Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

i never said founded?

and yeah i still think wiring, my charger says low voltage error when its the lipo at fault. last resort would be to zap the lipo on a normal nimh charge for few mins to up the voltage, then to try and balance it. as i said last resort and always be careful when doing this. Its how i revive my dead lipos and should be done with caution.

Adult supervision reccomended

faulty charger then is my bet fred, send it back and see what happens! afterall the imax are clones of the turnigy, you may have a lemon

Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

But it charges nimh okay, so is it just faulty on lipos?

Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

the pic posted of the charger looks like the balance lead is plugged in the wrong port. battery looks like a 7.4 (correct me if I'm wrong) if its a 7.4 then it should be the balance port closest to the banana lead outputs

Re: Imax B6 problems/help/advice

just looked on the charger and its in the slot for the 2s, the smallest one.
