USA warehouse now open. Our USA warehouse is now open! Low cost shipping and an ever growing variety make ordering from the US warehouse even better value!
When I try to run the supplied ChargeMonitor software I get presented with a request to register, and a 3 field window in which to type (presumably) a registration key. But such a key was not supplied with my order. I can't run the software without it. But I can't see any reference to this issue here, what has everyone else done?
I have a B-6 charger. I'm thinking about geting the USB kit. I also have a laptop with Vista OS. Will the USB software work correctly. Also what does the software do for the charger? Thanks
Software monitors battery voltage, charge current etc. You can see all data in tabular format or as graphs, store the data for comparison with other batteries. But it cannot control the charger in any way - there is simply no RX line on the device. And it will definitely work on Vista ( actually software is free and available at ****logview.info. Some people also make such kits with their bare hands - it is a simple TTL serial to USB converter actually)
Found out on the iMax B6 you can only the temp sensor or the Charger monitor not both, but if you have an iMax B8 you can use both as it has 2 usb ports!
I have received software, a cable to connect to the PC and a small card that not so that it serves because software is impossible to install since the file " Setup.exe " this corrupt one. Somebody can provide the software to me that works? I can not anexed the bad file but the maximun is 500KB and thr file is 1,953KB Any can help my pleasy?
It is really impossible to install the Software (Charge Monitor), practically all the files of the program (Charge Monitor Setup) are corrupted. Does anybody have a link for doing the download?
On the iMax B6 it plugs in the same spot as the temp sensor so you can not monitor temp while charging or discharging. The iMax B8 has two ports so you can still monitor the temp. Work fine with XP SP3.
It's a USB adapter that plugs into your computer and attaches to your IMAX charger (temp sensor or USB port). The software is loaded on your computer and when you charge or discharge your batteries it graphs the data (current, Amps, Volts - temp is also recorded if your charge has 2 usb ports like the B8 - the B6 only has the one so temp is not recorded) which you can save to a log file. Create a directory for each battery and then the log file name can be the date you performed a charge/dishcharge. You can then compare these log if you suspect your battery looses capacity - dosen't fully charge.
Hi, it CAN work, but it depends on how old is your accucel: 1) older: you need to check if pin order is correct 2) newer: you have to do a little work on PCB: at rcgroups: forums/showthread.php?t=1046318
I just did the modification mentioned in the forum.(added the little wire inside) BUT, the Imax adapter is wired differently to the adapter mentioned, so don't modify your plug, it fits straight in and is correct! I modified my plug and could not get it to work, out of pure frustration after trying to change the drivers etc I just turned the plug back to original and Whoa! it worked. The plug goes in with the black wire nearest to the power plug the red in the middle and the white wire at the bottom, NOT from the power plug: white-red-black as mentioned in the forum. Hope this saves someone some frustration.
BTW If you use your PC/Laptop to program your HK 6 channel transmitter you do not have to install a driver, the one installed for the adpater for your transmitter also works with this Imax adapter, just plug in and go.(Just thought I would mention this).

Works well with iMAX B6 Charger. Some software glitches, but nothing major. See my post in the community here: http://myhobbycity.com/showthread.php?t=3421

Installed and works good on a DeskTop PC running XP. The software installed without problems and the Graphing images on tyeh screen are great for viewing the charge and discharge of the batteries. I can log the graph file ande keep it with the battery for archive and recall later to see if the battery is degrading over time. The only bad rating is that I installed the software on my LapTop PC with Vista Basic Home Edition and It installed without problems but when you use the USB port to talk to the charger it errors with a "EAccess Violation" It's a problem with Vista operating system and will be solved soon.

I have received sofware and I cannot install it. The PC gives message of corrupt file and the anti-virus warns to me of risk of troyano virus. Very would be thanked for that some of that they say that it works put to adjournment of the forum sofware or it sends it to me by email to " garver1941@yahoo.es " . Anticipated thanks Juan Angel
