Review: MiBoxer 8-bay SmartCharger

[@mp6814]

Thanks or the review. How has the charger performed so far? Question: can one set amperage or each cell separately? Thanks again.

[@CSIG1001]

How do you set it to discharge and refresh until it hits max capcity?

[@ChalliceofLight]

I have no idea.

[@herobo123456]

Is there a cycle mode for damaged batteries?

[@aaroncatolico7550]

*Does this charger also do any discharging or capacity testing/analyzing or just mainly charging?*

[@sandro9389]

Hello, I also bought this charger. I'm really impressed with the functions and the quality. But is it possible that the measured capacity isn't right at all? I had a different charger before. It showed me completely different values.😀😀😀🤔🤔🤔

[@taz6122]

maybe why you bought a new 1?

[@ericm344]

Nice! Currently $5 off as well

Something I didn't see you cover in this video. How fast can you charge each battery? Is 1 amp the max charge rate? Or, can you charge at a 2, 3 amp rate? Is the charging current shared across all slots, or, can you charge at a different amp rate on each channel? Thank you. I'm considering picking this charger up. I need it for mostly charging my high Mah 21700 Lio on batteries.

[@ChalliceofLight]

I think 3 amps. Pretty dang fast.

[@lexsteel12]

@@ChalliceofLight If the batteries are of good quality, they can typically handle 3 amp charging. For example, I usually charge my Lipo batteries for my RC cars, at between, 4, 6, and even 9 amps each. Without any issues. Different batteries can be charge at different charging rates. Manufacturers usually recommend a 1 C charge rate. Meaning, whatever mAh the cell is, you would charge it times that. So, a 5000mAh Lipo, I can charge it at 5 amps. That is a 1 C charge rate. I know Lipos are somewhat different chemistry than Lion on batteries, so it all comes down to each battery. Sorry for the long explanation.

Does the charger by chance also test cell resistance?

[@ChalliceofLight]

I don't think so.

[@__WJK__]

@@ChalliceofLight - I actually recently ordered one and much to my surprise, it actually reports resistance for all 8 cell slots!

[@ChalliceofLight]

@@__WJK__ too cool!

[@jerryinohio1978]

What happens if you put alkaline batteries in it?

[@ChalliceofLight]

It's supposed to shut off.

[@davidcrawford6505]

Mine must be broke. None of the bays tell the charge for the battery in any of the 8 bays. Just 8 warm batteries. Checked with a multimeter and they are fully charged. Garbage.

[@EduardoRimoli]

I think they must be telling you how much of a charge has been performed. Have you tried with discharged batteries?
