    Hello,

    I have been the owner of the IMAX B6 MINI charger since yesterday.
    I have 2 2500 mAh batteries that I would like to charge simultaneously.
    The charger mentioned at the beginning of my post does not have two XH 3S sockets, so I bought a special adapter and cables for it.

    My problem is that I do not know with what intensity to charge them and if charging two batteries at the same time will not damage the batteries ???.
    What will happen if I charge both at the same time with 4 A and one of them charges faster than the other ???.

    The batteries are 2500mAh, 3 cells and 11.1V each. The cell has 3.7V each.

    The charging current depends on the design of the battery.
    How you can charge them should be in their specifications.

    Unfortunately, but this charger has low power and charging even with nominal current, two packages, is dangerously close to the performance limit.
    You can damage the packages and charger.
    These are large packages, and the charger is small. Load them one at a time.

    It is generally not recommended to charge two different LIPO packages with one charger.
    Package targets are usually selectable. But they can vary significantly between different packages.

    How little? I saw them charge 4 batteries simultaneously.
    What does the inscription 20C on the battery mean ???.
    I still don't know how much to charge.

    Maybe a little off the topic, there are balancers for PLN 89 and almost identical for PLN 40 more. Is SkyRC an original device, is it cheaper?

    Or maybe the buyers pay the PLN 40 for the sticker?

    The charger you provided in the first link is a fake. The original charger, given in the second reference, has a hologram on the reverse with a unique code confirming the originality. The original charger is made of better components. For the purchase, I recommend the seller phu_amadex from Zduńska Wola. The items he sells are 100% original, and the guy has specific knowledge and help.

    Thank you. After reading this article, I understood what I was dealing with. Summing up the data contained in the article, it turns out that the batteries that I have 2500 mAh should be charged with 2.5 A

    @l_o_n_g_e_r I just provided a link from this user's sale, thanks for the information. Charger already ordered ;)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the safe charging of two 2500mAh LiPo batteries simultaneously using the IMAX B6 MINI charger. Concerns are raised regarding the charger's power limitations and the potential risks of charging two batteries at a high current (4A), especially if they charge at different rates. It is advised to refer to the battery specifications for appropriate charging currents, with a recommendation to charge at 2.5A for the 2500mAh batteries. The conversation also touches on the authenticity of chargers and the importance of using original components for safety and performance.
