General information

Thank you for purchasing 

iMAX B8+ 

charger. You have purchased high quality 

product made by SKYRC. Reliable SMD technology, outstanding performance 
and flexibility, high level of safety features and last but not least  their easy 
handling and the new technological features you will have a lot of fun with it.

Optimized user interface

When charging or discharging, B8+ has an "AUTO" function that sets the feeding 
current automatically. Especially for Lithium batteries, it can prevent the over 
charging that can lead to an explosion by user's  fault. Every program in the unit 
is controlled with mutual links and communication for every possible error for 
maximum safety. These can be set at user's option.

It provides most convenient balance charge port for Lithium batteries, the u

Maximum Safety

Delta-Peak Sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program works on the 
principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection.

Auto-charge current limit: When charging NiCd or NiMH at "AUTO" current mode, 
you can set the upper limit of charge current to avoid from high current charging. 
This is very useful when charging the low impedance and small capacity 
NiMH battery in "AUTO" mode.

Capacity Limit: The charging capacity always calculated by multiple of the 
charging current and time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit the 
process will be terminated automatically when you set the maximum value.

Temperature Limit: The temperature of the battery on charging will rise by its 
internal chemical reaction. If you set the limit of temperature the process will be 
expired forcibly when the limit has reached.

Processing Time Limit: You can also restrain the maximum process time to pre
vent from any possible defect.

Input Power Monitor: To protect the car battery using as input power from being 
damaged the voltage of it always monitored. If it drops below the lower limit the 
process will be ended automatically.

High-power and high-performance circuit

B8+ employs the circuit that has maximum output power of 150W. As a result it 
can charge or discharge up to 27 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 8 series of Lithium 
batteries with maximum current of 7.0A. Furthermore the cooling system is so 
efficient that can hold such a power without any trouble of running the CPU or the 
operating program.

connector, pitch 2.54mm,compatible for Align XH, Kokam/Graupner/Robbe 
Packs from 2 cells to 8 cells.

General information

Maximum Circuit Power Chart

The actual amount of charge current feeding to the battery is automatically be limited  
to 150 Watts, so not to exceed the charger's maximum rated charging power.
The maximum discharge power is approximately 20 Watts. The discharge current 
delivered to the charger is limited by charger's internal thermal sensor for maxi
mum discharge current. If the internal temperature over 80 Celsius, the charger 
will be cut off and "TEMP OVER ERR" will show on the LCD. In this case, please 
decrease discharge current.
Please refer following chart for maximum charging/discharging current.
