  • Page 3: General Information

    Thank you for purchasing iMAX B8+ charger. You have purchased high quality Maximum Circuit Power Chart product made by SKYRC. Reliable SMD technology, outstanding performance The actual amount of charge current feeding to the battery is automatically be limited and flexibility, high level of safety features and last but not least their easy to 150 Watts, so not to exceed the charger's maximum rated charging power.
  • Page 4 General information General information Individual voltage balance for Lithium batteries inside B8+ has an individual-cell-voltage balancer inside. This does not require any extra balancer when charging Lithium batteries (Lilo/LiPo/LiFe) for cell voltage balancing. Balance individual cells on discharge B8+ also can monitor and balance individual cells of the Lithium battery pack during the discharge process.
  • Page 5: Exterior Of The Unit

    Exterior of the unit Warning and safety notes Exterior of the unit Warning and safety notes LCD screen Never leave the charger unsupervised when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is observed immediately terminate the process and refer to the operation (16chr.x2lines) Charging manual.
  • Page 6 Warning and safety notes Warning and safety notes Lead. They are red, positive (+) and black, negative (-). Since the charger cannot detect Warning and safety notes the difference between the internal resistances of the battery pack, cable resistance and To avoid short-circuits between the charge lead, always connect the charge cable to the connector transfer resistance, the first requirement if the charger to work properly is that unit first and only then to the batter to be charged or discharged.
  • Page 7: Program Flow Chat

    Program flow chat Initial parameter set up (Users set up) Initial parameter set up (Users set up) B8+ will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when it is connected to a 12V battery for the first time. The screen displays the following information in sequence and the user can change the value of parameter on each screen.
