Imax B6 - Connecting Heng Long Batteries?

Post by TankRookie »

I've just received a Imax B6 to charge my tank batteries. It did not include any connectors to connect to the Heng Long NiMH and NiCD batteries (tamiya connectors I believe).
I've had a quick look on ebay for adapters and found none.
Is there some way to connect these batteries that I am missing?

*Forgebear pointed me in the right direction for Tamiya male plugs :haha:

I fly helis , have cars and now tanks..i converted all my models to deans connectors. They carry the amps way better than tamyia connectors,(i would never fly a heli using tamyia connectors). Then all you have to do is make your own leads up for what ever you are going to charge at the time.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.

Doesn't it come with the leads anyway?

I ordered one at the weekend, website says comes with number of leads for various charging.

Suppose if worse comes to worse can alway use connector off heng long charger with beefed up cables.

Thanks, picked a tamiya banana adapter up from local modelshop.

Is there any recommendations as to the voltage I should discharge the stock 2000mAh 7.2 v NiCD to and what rate (Amps) to discharge and charge at?
