many RCU'ers use the imex b6, Ive had one and they are awsome for the money. And yes, it cannot charge above 5amps, so a 6cell lipo it can not charge at a full 1c.
That charger will beep loudly when charging is done and stop on its own.
Lipos can hold a full charge for a good long time. there is no need to keep them on the charger in storage mode. I dont leave mine fully drained for more than a week. But when fully charged I may not use them for a couple of weeks.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but he said the charger specs were .1-5.0 amp charge rate @ 1-6s lipo. That means it can very well charge a 6s lipo at 1c as long as the capacity is below 5000mah....
also, to Dounut0999:
I wanted to correct the charge time I mentioned earlier. My 2s 5000mah packs take 1 hour to charge. My 3s 5000mah pack takes alittle longer (more cells to keep balanced) and so your 4s 5000mah pack will take a bit more than that. But it still shouldnt be more than 1.5 hours tops.
But you should find that your lipo will get you at least 25 minute runtimes....maybe even more.
You are on the spot. Takes about 75-80 minutes to charge and gives a runtime of about 25-30 minutes.
Thanks again.
