It turns out, if you set charge/discharge/balance to 6S before calibration, all you need is a good balanced/charged 6S lipo. This thing uses the las setting introduced and uses it during calibration
Fantastic video and good English. I have a clone/fake Imax B6 but mine enters to original calibration manu with Desc. + Start on power on but the voltage value is not ok. I correct it but if If add the difference the volt vlaue does not changes and I have to store a very big difference (i.e. I have a battery 18650 with 4.15V with tester, the calibration menu (Des. + Start) shows 4.13V and I have to set +0.11 to see the 4.15V read by charger) I'll try your explanation. Thanks a lot for your video.
No, it should also print on it that it is SKYRC. Just only on a Clone one the original can be flashed onto it. The Fake are a lot of parts missing for Org. FW.
ok what you need to do before calibrating is put it on li ion setting in user settings after that go into li ion battery and put everything at 0.1 amp and 6s all options from charge ,balance,discharge and storage so all settings are saved as 6s...go back to main menu.....take your 6s battery where all the batteies are balanced...i prefer 4.15 ...and not 4.20....after that connect them to the imax...after connecting it disconnect power from ac to the imax ...hold both stop and enter....power on the imax....now you see all battery voltages all 6 of them...wait couple seconds and power off imax...now restart and the magic happens...you dont have to do anything.
you dont have to switch the negatives of the batteries...1s and 5s keep them both at negative connected...only switch the red wire..you also dont have to reinsert the 6s balance cables...let them stay in...after inserting the power watch the screen and see what hes asking for...if you pushed both dec and ent when its on discharge 5s mode ...it will ask for 5s discharge and not 1s...if discharge was set to say 3s before calibrating ...he will ask for 3s ...so best is use 3s discharge setting at 0.1 A and exit the menu and than do the calibration pushing both dec button and ent....sometimes after this he will ask for 4s...keep watching the screen..follow the instructions.

On the original charger, press the DEC and START buttons, when you plug in the power supply, the calibration menu immediately appears and you can do it even on a 1S pack.

press stop+enter and power up does not bring the calibration screen, what's wrong ?
where is the old version ?? i want to do it with 18650 cells i dont have resistors nor do i have 25 v

I’m glad to have found this tutorial, however my power supply only outputs 20 volts. Is there another way to reach the same result? 🇸🇪
Why after i start charging the amperes start going down till 0.1 A
Either this is not a clone or fake charger, or you somehow managed to flash the original firmware to a clone. (Sky RC on startscreen)
No, it should also print on it that it is SKYRC. Just only on a Clone one the original can be flashed onto it. The Fake are a lot of parts missing for Org. FW.

Can you make a video on how to do that?
@@glennfeldt_74 put it on 6s charge and discharge and you dont hav to switch anything

btw great video but very difficult to see.
how u know its fake
On the original charger, press the DEC and START buttons, when you plug in the power supply, the calibration menu immediately appears and you can do it even on a 1S pack.
At Original it should also print on it that it is SKYRC
