BALANCE CHARGERS

[JJM844]

Looking for some advice on which is the best balancer charger for lipos, I'm currently using an Imax b6. Any advice would be appreciated.

i dont think there is a best, there all good at what they do, just the more you spend the better internals you seem to get

cml do some good ones as do schumacher, but id struggle to pick one if i needed one

I'd second that, one balancer is as good as the next, its just the charger that's different, the balancing circuitry in every charger does the same job,

If you want a charger that will be amoung the best at not too bad a price get the team Orion advantage touch charger,

I have 2 and other guys at our track have them and others are planning on getting them,

The rest of the guys I know use the imax b6, so you could just stick with that as its a popular charger.

Mark is right, you get what you pay for and this is one of the latest and one of the best out there

The B6 is an ok charger.
Just make sure you have enough power for 1 c or more!

Neil is correct but i use 6000 cells and still cahrge a 5 amps (habit really) as it make no difference to performance just reduces charge tile charging at higher amps, even though my charger will do up to 8 amps x 2 channels

Mark,
With today's Lipo's Team Orion recommended to charge at no less than 1C.
Better to charge at 6.5 amps!
