Hello and welcome to the forum BA.

The alarm is a safety feature, my Imax B6 manual has no instructions for changing or switching it of.

BA,

The alarm is there for more than just announcing a state of charge and or time period has been reached. It will also sound if there is a broken connection -does happen.

LiPO batteries are not like other batteries they need to be handled with respect.

If charging an 11.1v 3S LiPO battery and the alarm sounds indicating end of charging cycle, does that mean the battery is fully charged?
It does if the volts per cell tally with the total voltage.

Unfortunately there are counterfeit iMAX B6 out there, and the state of charge in the battery may-not match what the charger indicates.
Where the total voltage may read 12.60, individual cells may not all be at 4.2v.

Try charging a battery using, charge, fast charge, balance charge, and check the actual voltage of the battery at the output leads with an AVO.

Here's a good article to read:
