B6 nano
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.
Fast and Storage Mode for Lithium Battery
With highly optimized software, the preset modes can meet varies charging
purposes, 'fast' charge reduces the duration of charging, whereas 'storage' controls
the terminal voltage of your battery to the best state for storing while protects its
lifespan.
Delta-peak Sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd
Delta-peak sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd battery: the automatic charge termination
program based on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection. When the
battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the process will be terminated
automatically.
Cyclic Charging/ Discharging
1 to 5 cyclic and continuous process of charge> discharge or discharge> charge is
operable for battery refreshing and balancing to stimulate the battery's activity.
Capacity Limit*
The charging capacity is always calculated as the charging current multiplied by
time. If the charging capacity exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated
automatically when you set the maximum value.
Processing Time Limit*
You can limit the maximum process time to avoid any possible defect.
Terminal Voltage Control (TVC)*
Experienced users or experts can set charge or discharge terminal voltage
according to their needs.
*This feature is available in the SkyCharger App only.

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.
The allowable DC input voltage is 9~32V DC
This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant, noninflammable
and nonconductive surface. Never place them on a car seat, carpet or similar.
Keep all the inflammable volatile materials away from operating area.
Make sure you know the specifications of the battery to be charged or
discharged to ensure it meets the requirements of this charger. If the program is
set up incorrectly, the battery and charger may be damaged .It can cause fire or
explosion due to overcharging.
Standard Battery Parameters
Be very careful to choose the correct voltage for different types of battery otherwise
you may cause damage to the batteries. Incorrect settings could cause the cells to
fire or explode.

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.
Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other
components.
Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the
currents the charger delivers during the charge process.
Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging:
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are
charging?
Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in
parallel and in series, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in
series).
Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
Charging
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the
battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge
time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending on the battery
type or its performance, and can be found in the information by the battery
manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable of quick-
charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the standard charge
current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is
negative. Due to the difference between resistance of cable and connector, the
charger can not detect resistance of the battery pack, the essential requirement
for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate
conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which are normally gold-
plated should be fitted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about charging methods,
recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium battery
should be charged according the charging instruction provided by the
manufacturer strictly.
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES

Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery, or to
reduce the battery voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid
to the discharging process as charging. The final discharge voltage should be set
up correctly to avoid deep-discharging. Lithium battery can not be discharged to
lower than the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total
failure. Generally, lithium battery doesn't need to be discharged. Please pay
attention to the minimum voltage of lithium battery to protect the battery.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and
recharged before the whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and will
only use that part of their capacity next time. This is a memory effect. It is said
that NiCd and NiMH batteries are suffering from memory effect. NiCd has more
memory effect than NiMH.
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 .Lithium battery is
recommended to charge in series.
WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES

5). SCAN TO GO
A very unique feature of B6 nano is SCAN TO GO (automatically charging
system). As the range of battery types and capacity becomes more and more,
each battery requires its own dedicated charging process. It is easy to set up the
charger incorrectly for a specific type of battery, resulting damage the battery or
even cause accident.
The revolutionary SCAN TO GO provides a solution to this problem by allowing
the user to assign a QR Code which contains all the relevant data for the battery
for charging or discharging. The user can create a unique QR Code by using
“SkyCharger” apps. Print it and paste it on the battery.
Using your smart phone and launch “SkyCharger” App. Since all the essential
information is stored in the QR Code. All you need to do is press the Scan button,
and the charge or discharge process will start automatically.
