One thing you didn't cover - Put your lipo's through a 'storage charge' mode when not in use, I did it with all my old rc batteries from seven years ago and they're still good to this day (no bloating), Storage charge brings all 3 cells up to even 3.7v each, not drained but not full.
Love your work mate, i just got a B6 charger and this helped with telling me how to use it and what Mah the Boss Li-Po batteries run. LEGEND
You legend I’ve been through 4 battery chargers the first B3 blow up when I plugged it in, one of them pretends to be charging. So I bought the blue one you got now but doesn’t have the black head or a Tamiya head now gotta change everything to a Deans to save the headaches. Great review CHAMPION!!!

You can buy a multi lead for it on Ebay has every kind of plug on it save you messing about around 10quid
Yessss! Will save this one for later!
Thanks for this! Super informative and very interesting Could they be rated at approx twice the capacity because they need a +/- cell to generate energy? Anode+cathode=16-1800 maH for a total output of 8-900? iPhone battery approx 1800 maH in considerably less space (L-ion as opposed to LiPo though)
It’s not stupid at alll!!! Thanks for sharing another informative video!!! '
Now I know why all the ebay batteries specifically say "Do not use with B6 Charger - B6 Charger will damage this battery" - i.e. B6 will tell you how much you were ripped off in mAh.... :-/ Thanks for all your work/vids - they're greatly appreciated.

Good video & i think i will just go for the b3 pro for now..not so complicated...haha thanks ya
For the next information video, can you do it on the theory behind different %cylinders, different pistons and that sorta stuff?
@ashtls6273

Higher% cylinder =stronger seal=better power But also could make the internals misaligned easily as well due to overcompressed Piston is just material and weight for durability and lifespan
Good video Quido, i'm sick of explaining this to people, now i just give them this link lol
Battery care very important so you dont burn your house down
Where do you get the discharge leads from
If discharging can i just use a JSTSM plug connected with electrical tape to a 12v cpu fan and then connect an Alarm volt meter to it? Would this work?? Cheers
I bought the B6 charger where do you get the other end in the mini Tamyia plug from
Hi Is there a board to charge 6 batteries at a time for gel batteries Or will I have to change the fittings on the batteries to XT60 or Deans connection I do have the board is it possible???
I myself use 2 different li-po chargers 1) Venom Power X4 Pro Quad AC/DC Smart Charger 2) Hitec X4 AC Plus. Just thought you'd like to know there are other more viable charger's on the market. Also a point you didn't mention is the use of a li-po safe charge/storage bag, which is a must have.

Very good points. There's so much more I could have added but i was already dragging on and on.
would a 12.6v battery work? or would it be too high?
When I select Discharge on my B6AC there is no option for 11.1v?
What's the charge time for both battery sizes? Not sure if it was mentioned wasn't able to watch full video sorry
What’s a good charger for a Barrett please tell me
Do you need to discharge the battery every time you want to balance charge it?
will b6 charger also charge 11.1V Li-ion batteries?
B6 charges are about to see a significant spike in sales

Hey mate I just bought a j10 and bought an upgraded 11.1v battery. I’ve accidentally drained it to zero the first time I used and when I connect it to the USB charger it doesn’t charge. Someone said I can get battery back to life by using the b6 charger. Can ya give me some idea what to do with this new battery. Cheers
I brought this charger, just duesnt come with cable needed , red and black to join to battrey
Just wondering how you got those connectors for the charger to read the gel blaster with that style connector as i've bought a balance charger and it doesn't have a connector like that one

@RA75AK

If that happens DO NOT BIN IT, take it to a proper battery disposal place. I saw a garbage truck load catch fire once because someone decided to ‘bin’ their battery (compacted = explosion). Truck driver dumped the entire load of garbage right in the middle of the street so as to not catch his truck on fire as well. I’m sure that’s what you meant by ‘bin it’ though. Fucking batteries are like bombs when compacted.
What does it mean when the battery gets hot only after 5 mins of charging..and swelling a little..

guido lipo battery shouldnt go below 3.2v, 3.0 you have completely cycled the cell become like think cardboard full charge, for a lipo is 4.2 but flots at 4.19v ask me have a massive powerwall of lipo. anything over 4.2 volts get thermal run away and things turn bad. Should also state your B6 is a chinese clone and if you have calibrated the charger! 2000mah STD battery suck only 960 mah

3.0 and 4.2 are absolute limits. if you run between 3.2 and 4.19 you will prolong the life of your battery and not risk any catastrophe.
