I love the design, I also like the pulsing lights.. It takes some time charging, but who cares.. 😀 It is 8 Euros in my country. I dont think you can get anything better for that price..

excellent review indeed. i will buy it, i have also an eneloop c75 charger, i know that it charges slow too. now i need a li-ion charger. i thought xtar vp4 dragon plus but it has minimum 0.5A selectable current. so is it a high current for slow capacity batteries ? can u recommend me a li-ion charger.

[@eat_ze_bugs]

Hey, thanks for the video. What brand of charger would you recommend for battery longevity?

[@InsideOutElectronics]

I would say this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnqsdJV9f8yip9k

[@timothykuek86]

this charger can charge 1 battery alone right?

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Yea, absolutely it can charge single batt

[@jimmybrad156]

Do they trickle charge when finished?

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Let me measure, but AFAIK yes.

[@jimmybrad156]

@@InsideOutElectronics That would be super! I'm actually hoping that it won't trickle after charging, cause the LSD cells I'm using don't like it.

Ok, for a 1900 mah battery, what do you suggest is the safest mah input for charging and discharging? I’m using a skyrc imax smart charger… thanks

[@InsideOutElectronics]

@@MITZ-cx4je usually good rule is 1/10 of the rated capacity, I would say 200mA

[@InsideOutElectronics]

@@jimmybrad156 what is the brand of your cells?

[@viktorcseke3566]

What about memory effect? If i put batteryes half charged if it discharge them or what?

[@InsideOutElectronics]

This charger is too dumb for that. It will cahrge them and yes this will develop memory effect eventually.

[@viktorcseke3566]

Do you know a charger from another brand which first discharge and charge a batteries by default, (so do not need to push buttons every time)?

[@Swarmish]

@@viktorcseke3566 Did you find something that you liked that could?

[@viktorcseke3566]

@@Swarmish i have a BC-900 what do you think?

[@jendak7921]

I have one with european plug and seems good safety, quality and price 1/4 of standard charger with led or 1/3 of charger with lcd. But not as good as i supposed at first because diodegonewild review. It refuse charging many AA/AAA bateries for no known reason and blinking red but other chargers I own have no problem with them even litokala li-500 show good capacity so I don't know what is wrong and need thinking which batteries is rechargeable in this "smart" charger otherwise I have flat batteries and useless charger somewhere with me. I try similar trick with foil but for paralel charging more batteries in one slot and it work when not charging individual it's slower then but better then nothing.

У вас российский (или другой специфический) акцент? или у меня что-то с восприятием речи? 🤣

[@InsideOutElectronics]

It is a bit different accent for sure

[@user-dq2vv1pb1m]

Не, точно росиянен. Если не родом то душой точно 🤣 Т.к даже не притронувшись к инструкции уже разобрал И про схему начал рассказывать

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Definitely not russian, but I clearly like taking things apart
