Some help with the IMAX B6AC v2 6A please

[emilianoksa]

I want to buy one of these but am a little confused.

I know that there are plenty of fakes out there, and I have taken the advice of members to google "genuine Imax B6" . I get a mix of genuine and fake items of course, but the prices vary considerably.

I'm wondering if price is always a good indication. Obviously I will stay away from anything at a low price, but can I be sure that the more expensive ones are genuine? Could anybody point me to a reliable source. Is it risky to buy from Amazon?

The other thing that bothers me is the differences in specification I have come across.

Some products are advertised as 60 Watts.

Others are advertised as 50 Watts.

Some are said to be 5 Amps.

Others are said to be 6 Amps.

What am I to make of these differences?

What sort of price should I expect to pay for the real deal?

Would I be safe buying the following for example: http://www.rchobbyestore.co.uk/accessories-c4/chargers-c30/sky-rc-new-imax-b6ac-v2-digital-lipo-lion-nimh-battery-balance-fast-charger-p946 Is this a reputable store?

Or this:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01BBJKB8Y/ref=sxts_sxwds-puwylo_rv_2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=9126202214565547164&pd_rd_wg=Z4Cqt&pf_rd_r=63XC7GZXZGF6GC8BTT26&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B01BBJKB8Y&pd_rd_w=JVOBO&pf_rd_i=imax+b6ac+v2&pd_rd_r=b840520a-5576-42c8-87f8-9eb799a4b643&ie=UTF8&qid=1526986149&sr=2 It doesn't say it is genuine.

Or should I be paying something higher like this:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B8P53S4/ref=sxts_sxwds-puwylo_rv_3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=9126202214565547164&pd_rd_wg=Z4Cqt&pf_rd_r=63XC7GZXZGF6GC8BTT26&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B07B8P53S4&pd_rd_w=JVOBO&pf_rd_i=imax+b6ac+v2&pd_rd_r=b840520a-5576-42c8-87f8-9eb799a4b643&ie=UTF8&qid=1526986149&sr=3

I would really appreciate your advice.

Hi

This is the one I bought based on the recommendation from Sonofsammo

[SIZE=12pt]https://hobbyking.com/en_us/imax-b6ac-v2-professional-balance-charger-discharger-uk-plug.html[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Seems to work fine.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Fortunately, my NiMH batteries now have Deans connectors, as it didn't come with a Tamiya adapter (though I do have a couple I didn't need to use them)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Cheers[/SIZE]

Exactly that one. Hobby king are very good and trustworthy, (I believe if you stay on the site for 10 mins or so it will offer you a discount).

On the difference of stats, some people advertise actual, and others advertise a “safe” stat so people don’t complain if it’s a tiny bit over.

Sorry to bump a month old thread, but seems Hobby King has been out of stock of the v2 for a while...any one else know where to get a genuine one from? I'm worried about all the Amazon/eBay ones....
