Congratulations on your choice of the iMAX Quattro B6 digital intelligent charger from
SKYRC Technology Co., Ltd. You are now the owner of a compact charger with battery
management and integral balancer.
The unit is simple to use, but the operation of a sophisticated automatic charger such as
the iMAX Quattro B6 does require some knowledge on the part of the user. These
operating instructions are designed to ensure that you quickly become familiar with its
functions.
It is therefore important that you read right through the Operating Instructions, Warning
and Safety Notes before you attempt to use your new automatic charger for the first time.
We hope you have many years of pleasure and success with your new battery charger.
iMAX Quattro B6 employs the circuit that features four totally independent but identical
power outputs which are powered 50 watts each. Total powers are 200 watts. As a result ,
it can charge or discharge up to 4 x 15 cells of NiCd/NiMH or 4 x 6 series of Lithium
batteries simultaneously. Quattro B6 has four individual cell voltage balancer at each
outputs, so it does not required any balancer separately when charging Lithium batteries
(LiPo/LiIon/LiFe) for voltage balancing.
The twin-fan cooling system is so smart and efficiently. The fan speed is controlled by
internal temperature sensor.

Following instructions only apply to one of the four chargers, as all of them operate
according to same principle.
Please BE SURE to read these instructions and Warning and Safety Notes before you

It can be dangerous to mis-handle batteries and battery chargers, as there is always a
risk of batteries catching fire and exploding.
