Batteries and Chargers Chargers
1

As topic says
I have a idea for buying iMax b6 charger / discharger.

I have few AC-DC adapters 12V-20V 2.5A - 5A etc. so I need charger only. without AC adapter.

found few sellers in ebay that sells 20-22$
BIC price 22.9$

Any other recommendations ?

Or seller specific quality issues ?

Thanks.

I have no idea but at so low prices maybe are clones with cheap resistors
I too wish to know the B6 cone with the highest quality/price ratio, hk have some from 18$ but you need to add 10$ for shipping/tracking :frowning:

Stay away from Cheap Clone Chargers. Go to HOBBY KING + BUY A Turnigy . I have had good luck with Accucel-8150 charger.

a trusted and recommended EU source (location: Dutch, The Netherlands) for the GENUINE imax b6 charger is NKON.nl who also sells the power adapter if needed. they offer FREE SHIPPING if you add an ET light to your order. final total depends on your geographic location and whether you add an ET light or not.

let's take as example my favorite 1x 18650 light, the D25LC2 Clicky (EUR59,90+shipping in German shops, USD61,99+shipping at illuminationGear.com):

  • For Non-EU countries (e.g. USA, Japan, Russia, Oz, Swiss, Norway, Turkey, Croatia, Argentina, Chile, Israel, etc.), visit ru.nkon.nl:

Genuine imax b6 = 24.00€ + (7.75-9.50€) shipping

Genuine imax b6 + any ET light = 24.00€ + 44.00€ + "FREE" SHIPPING

Genuine imax b6 = 29.95€ + 7.95€ shipping

Genuine imax b6 + any ET light = 29.95€ + 58.90€ + FREE SHIPPING


Notes:

  1. the products price difference between EU and non-EU destinations is due to the VAT.
  2. ***: the "FREE" shipping for orders which include an ET light is exact for EU destinations. for non-EU destinations, shipping is heavily discounted, i.e. "ALMOST FREE".
  3. they ship worldwide. if your country is not listed in the drop-down menus, then no problem. send them an e-mail and that's that.
  4. if you actually decide to add an ET light to your NKON order, then contact me via PM and i could help you with a personal discount. As with HKE, it is possible to approach the dealer via friendly ;) email and ..etc..

Kreisler, do you have an iMax, bought from nklon.nl? Hard to decide between Turnigy and iMax… Or should I just go for a Pila (not very BLF style) :open_mouth:

i ordered several stuffz from nkon. and in my last order i included the imax yes. afaik the turnigy and imax are built about the same (UI, components). imax is by all means to be called the original of its kind and it was designed and manufactured by SkyRC, a big company specialized in such things, and turnigy is of rather questionable origin. it's a copy, no doubt. Maybe it performs better or is cheaper .. in any case i prefer to stick with the original product and genuine. (many imax b6 fakes and b6 clones exist on ebay and the Chinese market, including Hobbyking).

if imax compares to fenix, then turnigy would compare to (..deleted.. sorry, no offense).

haha

Wrong, Turnigy is not questionable source, it’s a house brand of HobbyKing, one of biggest online hobby shops. Also, the Accucel-6’s are more reliable and precise than B6’s.
Not to mention that HobbyKing/hexTronic/Turnigy most likely is way bigger company (by employees, income etc) than SkyRC.

the fake B6's or the clone B6's?

:D

Fakes, clones & originals.

There is another EU seller (location: Deutch, Gemany) who has the genuine Imax B6 new in their sales program. Good prices too! I got no experience with them:

Looks like EU dealers, importers and distributors get interested in selling this very popular best-seller in Europe!!

If you order from nkon, don’t forget the Eneloops.
