SkyRC Chargers
16 products
SkyRC makes the iMAX B6, the balance charger many RC pilots start with, and a range that runs up to multi-kilowatt chargers for agriculture drone batteries. This page collects every SkyRC charger in our Chargers range. The choice comes down to three things: how much power you need for your largest pack, whether you want to plug into the wall or a DC supply, and how many packs you charge at once.
How to choose a SkyRC charger
- Power: charge current is watts divided by pack voltage. A 60W charger gives a 6S pack about 2.4A, enough for packs up to roughly 2200mAh at 1C. For 6S 5000mAh and larger, look at 200W and above.
- AC/DC or DC only: AC/DC models plug straight into the mains. DC-only models need a power supply or a field battery, and are smaller and cheaper for the same output.
- Channels: a single-channel charger does one pack at a time. Dual and four-channel models charge different packs independently.
- Cell count: the B6 family covers 1–6S. For 12S and 14S agriculture packs you need the PC series.
- Chemistries: the B6 V2 and Neo models charge LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion, LiFe and NiMH packs; check the listing for lead-acid and other modes.
What we stock
The iMAX B6 V2, B6 Mini and B6AC V2 balance chargers. The B6 Neo, a 200W DC charger that also takes USB-C PD input, and the B6AC Neo with mains input. Dual-channel D100 Neo and D750 MIX, the four-channel T400Q, and the Quattro Micro for four 1S packs. For large packs: the PC1080 and PC1080neo dual-channel 6S chargers, and the PC1500 and PC3000H for 12S and 14S agriculture batteries. Also the NC1600 AA/AAA charger and analyzer.
Compatibility
SkyRC balance chargers use XT60 or banana outputs with JST-XH balance ports, the standard on hobby LiPo packs. Whoop packs with PH2.0 or BT2.0 plugs need a charging board or the Quattro Micro. Always select the chemistry and cell count that match the pack: charging a standard LiPo in LiHV mode overcharges it.
Frequently asked questions
- Which SkyRC charger should a beginner buy?
- An AC/DC model such as the iMAX B6AC V2 or B6AC Neo: it plugs into the wall and charges 1–6S packs. Choose the Neo if you fly 6S packs above about 2200mAh, since it delivers more power on DC.
- Can the iMAX B6 charge LiHV batteries?
- The B6 V2 and Neo models have a LiHV program that charges to 4.35V per cell. Use it only for packs marked HV; standard LiPo packs must stay in the LiPo program.
- Do I need a power supply for a SkyRC charger?
- Only for DC-only models. They run from a DC power supply or a larger battery in the field. The B6 Neo can also run from a USB-C PD adapter at reduced power.
