The SkyRC iMAX B6AC V2 can charge and discharge NiMH, NiCd, Pb, LiPo, Li-ion, and LiFe batteries with individual cell balancing for up to 6 lithium cells. It features a built-in adapter that can be powered from 100 V to 240 V AC, or it can alternatively be powered via an 11 V to 18 V DC input. With its versatile charging capabilities, PC control software, and advanced features like input power monitoring, delta-peak sensitivity, cyclic charging and discharging, and more, the iMAX B6AC V2 is a great addition to the workbench of any RC, DIY, or robot enthusiast.

This PC software lets you monitor pack voltage, cell voltage, and other data during charging with the iMAX B6AC V2 Balance Charger and Discharger. It also lets you view charge data in real-time graphs, control the charging process, and update the firmware.
I briefly mentioned that the iMax B6 Quattro charger has a computer interface. I already was disappointed that the interface is per charger and only half of the chargers have it. Another disappointment came when I tried the software.
The protocol seems to be fairly simple. Just connecting the charger to PC already produces a stream of bytes. There is no need for the computer to send any requests. I use a simple perl script that opens the serial port in the correct mode and produces the read bytes on STDOUT. The bytestream consists of 74 byte long messages wrapped in curly braces (`` (0x7b) and `` (0x7d)).
thanks for sharing your discoveries!In your graph, you can see very clearly the measurement cycles during the charge: when the charger stops the charge, lets the voltage stabilize (drop) and measure the cell voltage.
The DataExplorer is free software, please see -sw.html. It is also available at no cost, but without any warranty. Since the implementation is based on Java, using free available libraries for data communication and SWT, the execution of this program is possible under a number of popular operating systems like 32/64 Bit GNU/Linux and MS Windows and Mac OS. The only requirement is the installation of a Java run-time of version 8 to Java 17 for the 32 bit versions and Java 11 to 17 for the 64 bit versions, such as IcedTea or open JDK. For simplicity, the 64 bit versions for Windows and MAC OS are provided with built-in Java run-time. There is no need to install a Java runtime for these cases. Since the MAC OS versions are based on Intel code, DataExplorer runs in the Rosetta emulation layer. An Android version of DataExplorer is available via PlayStore. The DataExplorer gathers data from connected devices and display this data for a various of further analysis.

DataExplorer for 32 bit will be distributed without a bundeled Java runtime environment. Also for GNU/Linux systems is this the case, independent of 32 or 64 bit. With this the system administrator has control over installed Java runtime. Therefore there is a need to provide a Java runtime environment by installation if not already available. In most cases a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) fulfills the DataExplorer requirements to execute successfully. Older operating systems may get updates with latest release of DataExplorer. With GNU/Linux-systems it is simple to install Java, just select from the connected software repository and a reasonable Java will be installed. This will install a Java which fits the system architecture, 32/64 Bit. A Windows-system allows, at least a 64 bit system, to install both in parallel, a 32 bit and a 64 bit Java runtime environment. Since from DataExplorer both versions 32 and 64 bit are available it is important to install fitting versions. A 32 bit DataExplorer requires a 32 bit Java. To verify which Java version is available just type "java -version" in a command line.Does this not respond with an version answer the Java executable is not installed or not reachable by the path. Any responds will contain a hint which bit version is installed. An Apple-system with MAC OS X and Intel based processor is always 64 bit. Please use the 32 bit version of the DataExplorer for Power processor based system only.For a MAC OS X also a Java runtime environment would fulfill the execution requirement. For unknown reason the JRE Java executable is not reachable. Therefore it is required to install a Java SE or development environment (JDK). Please be patient for that while downloading. JDK (Java Development Environment) can be downloaded directly from Oracle. The overall procedure while start-up trouble should be to open a command line prompt (GNU/Linux bash, Windows command line shell, MAC OS X Terminal) and change into the directory in which you find the DataExplorer start executable (GNU/Linux DataExplorer script, Windows DataExplorer.exe, MAC OS X DataExplorerMac64 script). In this directory execute "java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar ./DataExplorer.jar". If there are some errors with the Java environment you will get an meaningful responds. To check out if Java can be executed at all just enter "java -version". Problems while downloading a usable Java runtime environment? Please drop me a mail. 2ff7e9595c
