DIY: How to Balance charge Li ion/ Lipo battery pack w/ a balance charging cable Imax B6 Accucell 6

The best no fuss concise explanation i have listened to.

I built a duo 6s cradle system each wired in series. Then I heard about parallel charging and that bothered me. This helped confirm that my wiring is correct so I should be able to plug it in without blowing something. I did blow a cheap charger a while back getting it wrong! I also didn't think about using 2s, 3s, etc cables instead of a 7 pin. That makes sense as the charger rotates from pin to pin (cell2cell). So thank you again my friend.

Huuumwah, you are a great man, thanks a lot for the fabulous course. Since i was looking for how to connect the balance socket. It's exactly like connecting a BMS. God bless you 'n gives you more than you wait.

Thanks to this video I figured out that my balance wires from AliExpress is marked opposite.

You just gave me the info i was looking for, thanks man😊

Nice video, helped a lot when wiring a 6s2p just like yours, thanks.

Gracias, El mejor viideo que he encontrado explicando la polaridad de la carga durante el balanceo. Muchas gracias amigo.

Just what i was looking for! Thank you, it cleared something up for me!

Tyvm! Making 12v packs for solar lighting and trolling motor packs. I have some without a bms this was what I was looking for thanks again!

Thanks for the patient explanation on balance charging in practice

Exactly what I was looking for

It would be better for others to learn and understand what you said. The diagram on how you arrange the battery parallel. Most of the beginners will confuse serial and parallel connections. Thank you

You can use the Li Ion setting by going to the USER defined Data, then start/select, and change the current/volts

The reason that I am looking at your video is that I was given a new Ryobi 18v 4 amp-hour battery which was not working. Disassembly showed all ten cells were at about 3.8 volts and hence OK. My plan therefore was to look for disconnects on the control circuitry and if nothing was obvious remove the board and wire the batteries directly. I have an Accucell 6 Turnigy charger like you and tried to charge the battery as a complete block. The unit would not do it and gave the error message ‘balance charge connection’ despite it not being in the balanced charge mode. This is the second battery on which this has occurred and I think that the software has been programmed to do this. I am interested that yours will, but wonder if you have actually tried it. What I can do is charge linked pairs of batteries, but this means five episodes of charging to get them all up to level. Batteries all have an internal resistance which is more matched on more expensive batteries. On cheaper batteries this may lead to problems. Watching your video I will reattach balancing cables and try again, but whilst thinking about it remembered that you can buy tiny voltmeters to go on the balance cable for a few dollars and so one can monitor the power tool to ensure that the batteries are not discharged too far. Hobbyking certainly sell these for the model aircraft guys. I have also chopped a drill battery case and put in a Turnigy 18v cell to get my old Nicad tools working again. These batteries tend to be 2/3 of the price of the main tool companies. I was also able to resurrect and 40 volt Hilti drill for a friend with two 50 buck batteries joined and convert it from nicad to lithium. They are easy to charge on the Accucell charger. He was told that he must buy a new drill at almost 900 bucks. 12 volt kit can be done in the same way. Thanks for the video

With the "4 button" chargers, you can change battery type from LiPo to Lion or LiFe by toggling into the Program mode and changing the type. Be careful

With 6s6p if it isn't overkill. You can start car and most likely not need to disconnect because it can handle the highest alternator voltage. Stop and go every day for a week and then take it into house to put all the cells back into balance. Drill a hole into the cab and attach it inside car so you do not have to always put up the hood.

Perfectly Explained !!! I have no clear negative comments ?

very nicely explaned

Thanks for this, I was told last year it doesnt matter on these types of batteries about balancing but I have doubts now so I looked for a video like this. Always get a second opinion I guess.

Good video my brother
