SkyRC B6neo Smart Charger - 200W DC / 80W USB-PD Dual Input

Features

• Stunning Color Interface: A new UI with a vibrant LCD screen makes navigating menus, checking internal resistance, and monitoring individual cell voltages intuitive and beautiful.

• GaN Efficiency: Utilizing internal components optimized for high efficiency, the B6neo stays cool while delivering high amperage in a tiny form factor.

• Rectifier Circuit: Uniquely, the B6neo can act as a Digital Power Supply, outputting adjustable voltage (5-27V) and current (1-10A) to power your other DC devices (like foam cutters or soldering irons).

• Quiet Cooling: A smart, temperature-controlled fan ramps up only when needed, keeping your workspace quiet during light loads.

Virtual Technician: Important Usage Notes ⚠️

• Power Supply Not Included: This is a DC Charger. You must provide either a DC Power Supply (12V-24V) or a USB-C PD Adapter (like a MacBook or high-end phone charger).

• PD Cable Matters: To get the full 80W on USB-C, you must use a cable rated for 5A / 100W. Standard phone cables may limit you to 60W or less.

• Discharge Limit: While it charges fast, discharging is slower (max 24W). For storage discharging large batteries, be patient.

• Firmware Updates: Connect to a PC via the USB-C port to upgrade firmware using SkyRC Charger Master software.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does this come with an AC wall plug?

   • No. The B6neo is a DC charger. You need to plug it into an external power supply or a USB-C PD wall adapter.

2. Can I use my phone charger to power it?

   • Yes, if your phone charger supports USB PD (Power Delivery). A standard 5V charger will not work. We recommend a 65W or higher PD charger.

3. What is the maximum charging current?

   • 10 Amps (provided your input power source is strong enough).

4. Can it discharge batteries for storage?

   • Yes, it has a Storage Mode that automatically charges or discharges the battery to 3.85V/cell.

5. Is it compatible with LiHV batteries?

   • Yes, it supports High Voltage LiPo (4.35V/cell).

6. Why is it charging slowly on USB-C?

   • Check your adapter wattage and cable rating. If you use a 30W adapter, the charger will only output ~25W-30W.

7. Does it have a Bluetooth App?

   • No, the B6neo does not have built-in Bluetooth. It is controlled via the onboard buttons and screen.

8. Can I charge a car battery (Pb)?

   • Yes, it supports Pb (Lead Acid) charging for 3S (6V) and 6S (12V) batteries.

      

9. What connector is the DC input?

   • It uses a standard yellow XT60 Male connector.

10. Is the screen touch-enabled?

    • No, navigation is done via the three physical buttons on the front.

11. Does it measure Internal Resistance (IR)?

    • Yes, you can view the health (IR) of each cell in the battery meter menu.

12. Can it act as a power supply?

    • Yes, it has a "DC Power" mode where you can set output voltage (5-27V) to test motors or power other electronics.

13. Is the fan loud?

    • It is temperature-controlled. It is silent at idle and ramps up to a distinct hum during high-current charging.

14. How does the balance discharge work?

    • It uses the balance port to discharge cells faster (up to 24W) compared to just using the main lead.

15. Can I calibrate the voltage readings?

    • Yes, SkyRC allows advanced users to calibrate voltage if they have a reference multimeter.

16. Why is the screen saying "Input Vol Err"?

    • Your input voltage might be too low or too high. Check your power supply. DC input must be 10-28V.

17. Is this better than the B6 V2?

    • Yes. It is smaller, more powerful (200W vs 60W), and has a modern color screen and USB-C input.

18. Can I charge 2 batteries at once?

    • No, this is a single-channel charger. You can only charge one battery pack at a time.

19. What is the max cells for LiPo?

    • 6S (6 Cells).

20. Is it firmware upgradable?

    • Yes, via the USB-C port connected to a Windows PC.
