Thank you for purchasing the imax B5.You get a rapid charger that is computerized with a high performance microprocessor and specialized operating software. It can maintain your battery at its best condition and also control them safely. Please read this entire...
Voltage balancer for Li-polymer battery inside High-power and high-performance circuit B5 has an individual-cell-voltage balancer inside. B5 employs the circuit that has maximum output So it does not need any balancer separately when power of 50w. As a result it can charge up to 14 charging Lipo battery for cell balancing.
li-ion/Polymer Balance Charger Warning and safety notes Never leave the charge unsupervised when it is Do not connect more than one battery pack to connected to its power supply.lf any malfunction the charge lead at any one time. is observed immediately terminate the process Do not attempt to charge or discharge the and refer to the operation manual.
