Very helpful, recently bought one of these and had no clue how to properly use it while cycling through everything! Much better understanding of how it works.
I am happy that this has been posted. It would be great if the printed instructions with the unit included details that are in this video. With this video, I certainly feel more confident using this charger.
If I use the cycle function to re condition an NimH battery, will I be able to see information regarding the results of each cycle? I wish to determine the initial storage capacity , and document the increase, if any, from the cycles
I'd like to know this too. It seems like it would automatically display the first cycle and its discharge and charge capacities and allow you to scroll through the following cycles. Someone pls confirm!!!
Hey Tenergy! Just got my tb6b and couple 6v 1600mah reciever batts in the mail, can you recommend some good settings for longevity>charge time to these batts on this charger? Thanks!
Hi Romeo, the ideal settings will depend on what battery pack you have. Please contact our team at service@tenergy.com with the battery pack's voltage and capacity information and we would be happy to suggest charge settings for longevity.
Hi K LE, generally we recommend discharging your batteries at .2C and this varies depending on your battery pack and preferences. For this video we went for lower than .2C since we weren't in a rush to discharge the battery. If you would like suggestion on settings feel free to reach out to our team with your battery pack's specification at service@tenergy.com
Hi John, the tb6b can be used to cycle a nimh battery pack. However in your case, it may be difficult to cycle the 18V ryoibi battery without disassembly. In addition, it may not help bring back the battery pack to it's full capacity. We suggest replacing it with a new battery pack instead. If you have additional questions please feel free to reach out to our team directly at service@tenergy.com.
Hi Skrawn, the TB6B charger is capable of discharging up to 1A max. The discharge rate is dependent on the the battery pack, since the battery pack's max discharge rate can be less than the Tb6b charger - we recommend double checking the manufacturer's specifications on the battery pack to decide. In this example, we wanted to discharge the 3,800mAh battery for around 6-7 hours, so chose 0.6A.
Hi Nanbanjin, generally you can charge and discharge as long as the charger and battery pack does not overheat - make sure that your resting period in between cycles is sufficient to allow the charger and battery pack enough time to cool down. The number of times will depend on the battery itself, so it's important to check with your battery pack's manufacturer's specifications to confirm. If you'd like a more info please feel free to reach out to our team at service@tenergy.com and we can review your setup more personally.
Hi Vishnu this charger is intended for battery packs. If your device has a slot for AA type, you can choose either nimh or nicd. If you need more info, we have a video that walks you through some strengths of our nimh AA batteries, you can check it out at th-cam.com/video/z7jhAlpgvps/w-d-xo.html
That's correct. If you're only charging and discharging a Nimh battery packs the balance cable is not needed. If you're unsure if your battery pack is lithium or nickel metal based, please check the manufacturer's manual or recommendations. Generally, Nimh and NiCd battery packs won't have a balance cable to connect.
Hi Hunter charge time will depend on the speed you choose to recharge the battery pack and how full your battery pack is. You can choose to recharge at 1C (2.4A for your battery pack which will take 1 hour), for a battery pack like yours recommend .25C ( 0.6A which can take up to 4 hours) but results in a better experience for your battery pack (less heat and fuller charge).
Hi Javier this charger works NiMH, NiCd, LiPO, Li-ion, LiFePO4, and SLA battery packs. LiNiCoMn battery has the same nominal voltage as li-ion, so in this case yes.
My battery has 4500mha with 7 cells is this equal to 7*4500mha or not? with a total load of 31500mha ? because it already has 8540 mha of load and does not stop
Hi Celso, Vez: We'd love to help here, but in order to help we would need more information, please reach out directly to us at service@tenergy.com. Our team there can give you more specified guidance on why it's not stopping Assuming you have a 7S1P (8.4V 4500mah NiMH battery pack), we recommend charging with settings of NIMH at 1A. The charger should automatically stop charging once your battery pack is full, it'll beep to alert you. But since that doesn't seem to be the case for you, please stop charging and contact us at service@tenergy.com for more details.
Hi Yadi please reach out to our team at service@tenergy.co before trying to recharge your nimh battery pack again, so we can walk you through the process.
Excellent demonstration, would be great if more companies demonstrated their products as thoroughly.

The best explanation on nimh/nicad i have ever seen. ☺
This must be one of the best tutorials I have seen. Awesome job.
Thanks for this. Very clear and same instruction for Turnigy Accucell 8150. Showed me how to switch from manual to auto charging.
This video was perfect to help me understand my Turnigy Accucell 8150 as they seem to have the same user interface. Thanks!
It answered all my questions that were not addressed in the manual.
This is one of the most useful video si have ever seen on nimh batteries, thanks 👍
Excellent vid for how to maximise Nicd and Nimh, thx!
Best tutorial ever seen 👌👌

@andrewudalov8713 i ended u0 getting one. It allows you to cycke through thr results of 3ach charge and discharge cycle ehen complete
Thanks really helped me.
Wow!!! Maybe The best tutorial!
Your formula is for 1C which is safe for nimh in theory but for most cases and for some users it is a safe practice that you charge nimh on .2-.5c.
Very helpful, thanks!
Hey Tenergy! Just got my tb6b and couple 6v 1600mah reciever batts in the mail, can you recommend some good settings for longevity>charge time to these batts on this charger? Thanks!

Where can we get those multiple battery connector setups?
If you already have the charger, you can find the charging harness at amzn.to/44CcjY2 if you need both check out this link instead: bit.ly/3rmNvoq
How did you arrive at the .6A setting when you were discharging the NiMH?
Hi K LE, generally we recommend discharging your batteries at .2C and this varies depending on your battery pack and preferences. For this video we went for lower than .2C since we weren't in a rush to discharge the battery. If you would like suggestion on settings feel free to reach out to our team with your battery pack's specification at service@tenergy.com

Does this charger recondition NiMH batteries? I have an 18v Ryobi battery that only holds about 5% of its capacity.
Hi John, the tb6b can be used to cycle a nimh battery pack. However in your case, it may be difficult to cycle the 18V ryoibi battery without disassembly. In addition, it may not help bring back the battery pack to it's full capacity. We suggest replacing it with a new battery pack instead. If you have additional questions please feel free to reach out to our team directly at service@tenergy.com.
Where did you get the 0.6A from when discharging?
Hi Skrawn, the TB6B charger is capable of discharging up to 1A max. The discharge rate is dependent on the the battery pack, since the battery pack's max discharge rate can be less than the Tb6b charger - we recommend double checking the manufacturer's specifications on the battery pack to decide.

How many times in the same day can I charge and discharge nicd and nimh batteries?
Hi Nanbanjin, generally you can charge and discharge as long as the charger and battery pack does not overheat - make sure that your resting period in between cycles is sufficient to allow the charger and battery pack enough time to cool down.

So for charging and discharging nimh, it doesn't need to connect its balance cable?
That's correct. If you're only charging and discharging a Nimh battery packs the balance cable is not needed. If you're unsure if your battery pack is lithium or nickel metal based, please check the manufacturer's manual or recommendations. Generally, Nimh and NiCd battery packs won't have a balance cable to connect.
