OLD LAPTOP PSU
input voltage is 11v ~ 18v req about 3amp min to say 5amp
5.5mm plug with 2.5mm center I think (positive center is the usual norm)
(most modern plugs have positive center/pins but please check polarity ffs)
Now you "might" be OK with a little over the 18v limit as voltage regulators usually work up to 34v or something
BUT DON'T BE F*CKING STUPID, 19v laptop PSU's "should" be OK - well you get voltage spikes etc.....
You need about 3amp to charge say 2000mah/2amp lipo's quickly
the B6 charges much faster than the trickle slow B3 chargers
B6 charges through deans say and balance through the JST or balance connector thingy
B3's charge and balance through balance lead only - so thinner wires takes longer
(but handy coz it don't matter if deans/tamiya/XT60 LiPo's - don't need adapter to charge on B3)
Most laptop PSU's will be of the right spec volts/amps - just if they got the correct plug on it
I know one particular IBM/Lenovo psu works great but they changing stuff often
In the end I bought a "Universal Laptop PSU" - a psu you can select voltages and have different plugs
(to suit or work with most laptops), found a plug that fitted, (check polarity (test meter) set 16v & sorted)
You might already have an old laptop PSU lying around the house
you might get lucky and the plug might work correctly - but unlikely as so many types
I got a clone which came with loads of leads inc a 5.5mm plug on crocodile clips or something
so if there is something like that in your box supplied then you can splice that on the end of PSU
you want the inner/center of the plug/socket positive polarity like LEFT PICTURE....
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS THEN DO NOT ATTEMPT STUFF !!!!
Seek some help from an electrical m8 if you are unsure - just trying to help you get by
Or buy a PSU designed for the iMax B6
Also being 11~18v means you can take and charge in the car on way to game via cigarette lighter plug
No worries if you haven't got an old laptop psu - just buy a B6 psu
Old modems/routers psu of say 12v 1amp usually have smaller plugs than B6
but often these plug/psu units used on old modem/routers are ideal for cheapo B3 chargers....

Seriously, you can often find you don't need to keep buying stuff or new stuff sometimes
some stuff just works fine or costs very little eg: ptfe tape and wotnot
FAILING THAT....

There are loads of ads for psu's - just watch out for Hong Kong sellers claiming item is shipped from UK
Often if they say it ships from UK it will likely arrive in a few days like they say
BUT some sneaky bastids appear to be UK sellers and claim it will ship from UK
but it ships from China and may not arrive for 3 weeks or so
So if you have an old psu to hand and some luck or electrical common sense you should be OK maybe
