About this product

B6 V3 is an 80 W, 6 A balance charger for LiPo, LiHv, Li-ion, NiMH and Ni-Cd packs, supplied with a 12 V 5 A adapter. The watt ceiling sets the real current: on a 6S pack, 80 W divided by 25.2 V leaves roughly 3 A, not the 6 A on the label. The B6 family has been cloned for years, so check which version and seller you are buying from before paying.

Pros & cons

Pros


  • Handles five battery chemistries, so older NiMH packs stay usable
  • Balance, charge and discharge modes in one small box at a low price
  • 12 V 5 A adapter included, so it runs from a wall socket out of the box

Cons


  • 80 W caps a 6S pack near 3 A, so large packs charge slowly
  • No anti-counterfeit check is described here; verify the seller and version
  • One channel only, so a race weekend means charging packs one after another
