Good product but looks like Chinese clone (not from original iMAX)
about 2 years ago by Member #710396 verified purchaser
The charger works as expected but there are some bugs in firmware. For ex, Capacity Cut-off menu has bug in
displaying mAH. It should display 500mAH as 500mAH but displays 5000mAH. There are others bug too
(including cooling vent, gold plated socket, etc) and finally I searched on YouTube about how to check for fake
and it looks like this one is Chinese clone (not original from iMAX).
Still, works as expected but due to firmware bug (and cheap hardware), I cannot say about its reliability.
Great Charger, could be priced more competitively..

This is a standard iMax B6 that works great. However I wish that Sparkfun would price this product more
competitively, as it can be bought MUCH cheaper elsewhere.
I bought my first one here
about 3 years ago by Member #513097 verified purchaser
and, due to its awesome engineered design, I bought the updated version, so I can charge more batteries.
I use a lot of Li Ion/Li Poly batteries, as well as Ni Metal Hydrides so it is possible now, to dedicate one for each
battery chemistry… Quite a help!!!
