I have used the B6 Ultimate for the last 12 months also with no problems, I've charged all types of cells with it from Lipo to NIMH to LifePo and Pb. It has never missed a beat. I've just this week ordered another Sky RC charger as my son will be racing with me next month. If they were no good I wouldn't have gone for the same brand again. Used correctly, these chargers are excellent. I do believe that Sky RC make chargers for a lot of other companies too but are just re-badged. Just my humble opinion.

Ok Iam new to this but do you need a Amp to run the B6 Ulitmate 800w charger ? And if so what size ? Cheers.

[h0m3sy]

I use the eFuel 30A psu to power my charger. It works perfectly together. If you speak to bigred5765, he actually sells them and will be able to advise

[reelman_fishing]

A big + one for the e-fuel 30 amp psu never mist a beat in twelve months running a sky ultimate duo 400w X2 charger
see big red on here for info

[toddzellia]

How about the Skyrc B6 Ulitmate 200x2
Would it be able to charge two 4s 5000 40C at the same time ?
Or do I have to go with the B6 800w ? And the fuel 30A Psu would work with boath? The 200wx2 is in my price range .

[reelman_fishing]

It dose 1-6s a chanel at 10amp.

PM bigred for info

[bigred5765]

heres the spec or the 200 watt

Circuit power:Max. Charge power 2x200Watts
Max. Discharge power 2x25Watts
Charge current range:0.1~10.0A
Discharge current range:0.1~5.0A
Current drain for balancing Li-Po/Ion/Fe:200mA/cell
Li-ion/Fe/Polymer cell count:1~6cells
NiCd/NiMH battery cell count:1~15cells
Pb battery voltage:2V~20V
Net weight:740g
