Is this a new charger? Where are you plugging the lipo in? Is this a real Imax B6 or a clone?

Post a pic of your setup, batteries plugged in and all.

What happens if you plug in both at the same time? You really should not have the battery plugged into a dead charger btw always power on the charger first then plug in the battery.

I have 2 of those. Blue one is about 15 years old. Black one less than a year old. Both work fine. Are they fake or real? I just don't care... they work and I'm present when I charge them.

Same thing happens it “starts charging” but sits at the same voltage for hours

Something internally is wrong with the charger, what exactly I am not sure but it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one than to try and fix it. Is this new a new charger or an old one?

I had a clone and a rebrand of the B6AC. The rebrand was a Thunder AC680. The blue one is likely a clone, plenty of videos on Youtube to tell you the difference and the black one is 100% a clone, the real ones were only 50w and blue.

About a year old

Eesh. Sorry my man. But unfortunately at this point in time you should be looking at getting a new charger.

I only paid about 40 bucks each for mine. Cheap quality but seem to get the job done.

I paid $23 shipped for the clone, it got stolen with my Merv years ago, the Thunder AC680 came with my Merv when I bought it used in 2016, my nephew still uses it.

So what's happening here?

I was going to mention that but I don't think that is causing the issue, a faulty cord would probably either completely fry the charger or the charger wouldn't power on but I could be wrong.

Funny I had the exact same frayed cord at the same location...tried to fix but ended up ordering a new cord.
