Car drivers must periodically chargebattery of your vehicle. For this purpose, special devices that can meet the requirements of the electric system of the car are on sale. However, most chargers are designed for a certain type of battery.
However, in everyday life one sometimes has to applydevices with different types of batteries. In order not to buy a charger for each of them, there is equipment of a universal type. Such devices include Imax-B6. Charging the car battery, a screwdriver, a drill and other devices can be performed using it. It is interesting to learn about the main features of the device presented to every vehicle owner.
All lead-containing batteries are serviced by the device Imax-B6. Charging the car battery occurs as one type of equipment, and several at the same time. The device is suitable for Li-Io, Li-Fe, Ni-Cd, Li-Po, Pb, Ni-MH battery types.
Also the presented device is fully capabledischarge the listed batteries. This allows the device to perform its actions in fully automatic mode. If the item is defective, charging will cut it off.
When a certain capacity indicator is reachedbattery charging can be terminated. Stopping can also occur if the battery warms up to a certain temperature. To do this, a special sensor is connected to the device (purchased separately).
In addition to these functions, Imax-B6 can balance between 2 and 6 elements. These qualities make the device popular among consumers. This is really a "folk" charge.
In order not to purchase a counterfeit, you need to know what it looks like on delivery Imax-B6. Charging the car battery (photo presented below) is shipped in a cardboard box. In addition to the main unit, the kit includes wires for connection and instructions. There is no power supply in the original kit.
On the case of the device there is a connector for connectionpower, and also an output for the computer. You can also connect a temperature sensor to it. On the opposite side are the balancing sockets, as well as the terminals "+" and "-".
On top is a grille, simulating a radiator. However, these ventilation slots are located on the underside of the device. Here, the original instruments have a hologram of the manufacturer.
In order not to acquire a fake, these characteristicfeatures should pay attention. Because of the easy repetition of the device circuit, it is produced by other plants. The quality of such devices, as a rule, leaves much to be desired.
It is necessary to check the authenticity by purchasing the original charger or its variants, for example Imax-B6-АС (complete with the power supply unit) or Imax-B6 (mini). Charging the car battery must have a hologram from the manufacturer. If it is not, it is guaranteed to be a fake.
If there is a sticker on the back, on ita special protective coating must be applied. It must be erased. Under the cover the original code will be presented. Further in the instruction it is necessary to find the address of the official site of the manufacturer.
In the appropriate form, you must fill in the fieldswith the serial number of the device and the code. If the purchased device is original, a message appears indicating that the operation was successful. The second time you can not enter the code. Therefore, the system will show a mistake when making the corresponding data.
A certain bundle for delivery has Imax-B6. Charging the car battery almost always does not have a complete unitpower supply. It can be purchased separately (it is inexpensive). The power supply should provide a voltage of 11 to 18 volts. It is quite suitable for a widespread model of 12 volts (5A).
According to consumer reviews, the originalA kit with a power supply from the manufacturer does not work reliably. In the system, overheats occur. Equipment for this reason quickly fails.
In the kit for connecting the power supplythe manufacturer supplies the wires with connectors of the appropriate type. There are also other cables for connecting the charger to other devices. To enter the Imax-B6 itself, the package includes wires with banana type connectors. Also, there are wires for connecting to the T-Connectors.
There are a number of manufacturer requirements that must be followed when operating Imax-B6. Charging the car battery, instruction which is included in the delivery, is performed in accordance with certain rules. The manual is translated only into English (and with errors).
To correctly apply such a device inthe following requirements must be taken into account. Equipment in working order should not be left by the user unattended. Also it can not be operated in the rain or direct sunlight. Do not leave the device near a battery or other heat sources.
During charging, the device must be installedon a non-flammable surface that does not conduct current. If, for some reason, the appliance or the battery starts to get very hot, it must be immediately disconnected from the mains. It is strictly forbidden to use a defective device.
Also, do not charge the types of batteries that are not designed for this device, for example, gel, WET batteries. They have specific modes when charging.
There are a number of features when using the device. Its modes allow for accelerated charging and storage of lithium batteries. At normal speed Imax-B6 charging car battery (100 amperes capacity) will take 20 hours at a voltage of 5A.
Setting the mode the user makes independently. In this case, you can set limits on capacity, time or input voltage.
If you need to restore the battery, the deviceput in a cyclic mode. It will perform 1 to 5 charging and discharging procedures. Up to 5 commands can be stored in the device's memory, which can be changed during operation.
Charging the car battery with Imax-Bb is very simple.All the necessary information is displayed. First you need to plug the device into the network. Further, the program setting is carried out using 4 buttons. Their functions are prescribed in the instructions.
The Batt.Type / Stop button specifies the battery type. The microprocessor will then be able to recognize the battery.
To set the values of the selected settings,you need to press the Inc and Dec buttons. When you select the desired parameters, you must save the result. To do this, press the Start / Enter button. It also starts the charging process.
By means of the presented buttons it is possible to setconditions of charging, discharging of batteries, as well as their balancing, storage and other modes. Also, the user can set the voltage and current in manual mode.
For lead-acid versions of batteries, a device Imax-B6. Charging the car battery 12V nominal voltage is set to 14.4V. In this case, there will be no strong evolution of gases. The charging current must be set to the position 0.1 of the nominal capacity of the battery itself.
With these parameters, the process will be performedin the optimum for the battery mode. When discharging, the current must be set in accordance with the required duration of the process (10 or 20 hours). This mode can also be used to train the battery or check its capacity.
By purchasing the device presented, the user may encounter some difficulties. There are certain errors that appear on the display Imax-B6, charging the car battery. Connection break is one of the most common. Such a message the user can see under any charging mode for all types of batteries.
This error code is caused by the controller.It does not determine the voltage from the balancer connector. If the system displays this or another error, it will be more appropriate to contact a specialist for assistance. Especially if the device is still under warranty.
If the term of freeservice has already passed, the user can try to troubleshoot himself. It is necessary to have a soldering iron, as well as minimal knowledge of the electronics device. First of all, you need to check the operational amplifiers. It is possible that the diode through which the power is supplied from the mains is out of order. The breakdown is most often determined in this department.
Among the main advantages of this device is the cost Imax-B6. Charging the car battery, reviews which is provided by experts and users,will cost about 4 thousand rubles. with power supply. Counterfeits stand at 800-900 rubles. cheaper. For this price you can buy highly specialized devices. Given the versatility of the Imax-B6, this device becomes the favorite when choosing.
Among the shortcomings, users have noted an insufficient length of wires. When charging a car battery, you have to build a complex system of cables to perform the entire procedure.
The presented device is characterized byusers as reliable, durable. It qualitatively performs charging and is versatile in its application. Therefore, the presented charger is recognized as the leader in sales of special equipment for cars.
