Congratulations on your choice of SkyRC B6neo smart charger.
B6neo features a stylish and ultra-compact design. It may be simple to use, but the
operation requires some knowledge. And the purpose of these operating instructions
is to help you quickly become familiar with its functions. Therefore, it is extremely
important that you read the Operating Instructions, Warnings and Safety Notes
thoroughly before using B6neo. It is our hope that B6neo will give you many years of
pleasure and success.
B6neo is a DC smart charger with a maximum output of 200W. It is capable of
charging batteries of varying chemistries (LiPo/LiFe/Lilon/LiHV/NiMH/NiCd/Pb) and
operating as a power supply, making it useful for hobbyists who need to power their
DC equipment. With its unprecedented function of voltage measurement without
power on, it becomes easy to measure battery voltage without hurdles.
Please BE SURE to read these INSTRUCTIONS, WARNINGS, and SAFETY NOTES
prior to using for the first time.
It can be dangerous to mishandle batteries and battery chargers, as batteries always
risk catching fire and exploding.
Mishandling batteries and battery chargers are hazardous and may cause fire and
explosion.

1) Lithium Battery Connection with Balance Adapter
For safety reasons, it is highly recommended to charge Lithium batteries
(LiPo, Lilon, LiFe and LiHV) using Balance CHG mode, unless the battery
comes without a balance wire.
The balance wire attached to the battery must be connected to the charger
with the black wire aligned with the negative marking. Ensure correct polarity!
