INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of SkyRC B6 nano. The operation and UI has been optimized to be hassle-free for basic usage. Being app-enabled, the user experience can be largely expanded, more features and advanced settings are provided within the free app. Multiple safety protections are implemented, such as, reverse polarity protection, charging time limit, charging capacity limit. The operation of a multi-chemistry battery charger does require certain knowledge on the part of the user.
INTRODUCTION Please read this entire operating manual completely and attentively before using this product, as it covers a wide range of information on operating and safety.
SPECIAL FEATURES Smart Phone Control (both iOS and Android) The free SkyCharger App unleashes tons of features and advanced settings, which tremendously expands the user experience of B6 nano. Internal Independent Lithium Battery Balancer With the balance lead connected, B6 nano will balance your lithium batteries while charging or discharging. Adaptable to Various Types of Batteries B6 nano is adaptable to various types of batteries, such as LiPo, NiMH, Pb and the lastest LiHV batteries.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the instructions for maximum safety; otherwise the charger and the battery can be damaged or at worst it can cause a fire. Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is found, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the operation manual. Keep the charger well away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunshine and vibration. Never drop it.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries. A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different manufacturers) A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged. Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard). Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gel cell (Pb, Lead acid). A faulty or damaged battery. A battery fitted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery especially. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily. Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series. In the parallel connection, the battery s capacity is calculated by multiplying single battery capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the same. The voltages imbalance may cause fire or explosion .
OPERATING PROGRAM 1. Connect the charger to DC power supply. Important Notice To take advantage of B6 nano’s full power capability, the power source should be 9-32V DC, and output power should be capable of 250W or higher. Low quality DC power source may damage your B6 nano charger. We recommend you to choose SKYRC 380W Power Supply. Connect the charger to Pb battery.
2. Insert the battery to the charger LiPo Battery Battery Type Battery Cells BATTERY TYPE: CELLS: Bluetooth Mode MODE: BALANCE CHARGE Current CURRENT: Battery Voltage VOLTAGE: Capacity CAPACITY: A V % Percentage mAh Battery Type: select the chemistry of the battery to be processed.

Program Start Press and hold % V mAh BATTERY TYPE: CELLS: button for 3 seconds to start the program. MODE: BALANCE CHARGE CURRENT: A VOLTAGE: CAPACITY: 8. Program Stop During the charging process, press 9.
OPERATING PROGRAM Charging Program Depends on different battery type, the operation programs are different. Batt Type LiPo Lilon LiFe LiHV NiMH NiCd Operation Program Description CHARGE This charging mode is for charging LiPo/LiFe/LiIon/LiHV battery in normal mode. DISCHARGE This mode is for discharging LiPo/LiFe/LiIon/LiHV battery. STORAGE This program is for charging or discharging lithium battery which will not be used for long time.
WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGE In case of an error the screen will display the cause of error and emit an audible sound. No battery attached. The cell number is wrong. The battery voltage is higher than the maximum voltage which the user sets when charging in balance mode. Balance port voltage error. Battery is full. Incorrect polarity connected. The internal temperature of the unit goes too high. Input voltage less than 9V. Input voltage higher than 32V.
SPECIFICATION DC Input Voltage : 9-32V Display Type: LCD Case Material: Plastic Controls: Three Buttons Case Size: 76x85x37mm Weight: 130g External Port: 2-6S Balance Socket-XH, Battery Socket, DC Input Delta Peak Detection for NiMH/NiCd: 3-15mV/cell / Default: 4mV/cell Charge Voltage: NiMH/NiCd: Delta peak detection LiPo: 4.18-4.25V/cell LiIon: 4.08-4.2V/cell LiFe: 3.58-3.7V/cell LiHV: 4.25-4.35V/cell Balance Current: 1000mA/cell Max Reading Voltage Range: 0.1-26.
REGULATORY INFORMATION B6 nano satisfy all relevant and mandatory CE directives and FCC Part 15 Subpart B: 2016.
COMMONLY USED TERMS Commonly used terms Final charge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's charge limit (capacity limit) is reached. The charge process switches from a high current to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge) at this point. From this point on further high current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to the pack. Final discharge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's discharge limit is reached.
WARRANTY AND SERVICE Liability exclusion This charger is designed and approved exclusively for use with the types of battery stated in this Instruction Manual. SkyRC accepts no liability of any kind if the charger is used for any purpose other than that stated. We are unable to ensure that you follow the instructions supplied with the charger, and we have no control over the methods you employ for using, operating and maintaining the device.
