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

 

https://hobbyking.com/en_us/imax-b6ac-v2-professional-balance-charger-discharger-uk-plug.html

 

Seems to work fine.

 

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)

 

Cheers

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....
