Difference between Opus BT-C3400 & BT-C3100 v2.1?

@teacher

Usually HKJ “dumbs down” what he says enough that I can understand it a bit easier. :+1:

That is something I tries very hard to do. Not that I will write stuff in a non-technical way, but I try to limit the technical jargon a bit.

And sorry about the links in my last mail, I used the wrong syntax, it is fixed now. I give up on links in answers, spaces do not work (I am too lazy to do my answers in raw html, anybody that want to see where my links leads to simply replace %2520 with a space in the link).

The general problem is that spaces in links do not work and when posting links from the browser where spaces is replaced with 20 the board replaces that with an escape for the sign (%25), instead of accepting it as a code for space.

^ To workaround the URL encoding bug we can use a URL shortener e.g. TinyURL or goo.gl

For example goo.gl/mqNBEn is a working link to the URL you sought to post. I’ve used that method many times to post links to your spacey reviews and it seems to have worked well (never saw any complaints).

Then you could just as easily use html code, it will also work.

I personally think you do a great job and I am one “dummy” that appreciates it greatly. .

No apology necessary, but thank you for the explanation of how to “fix it”. :+1:

@gauss163

@teacher Yes, everyone can contribute in useful ways.

Amen gauss, I totally agree. Thank you. :+1:

HKJ—You are true one of a kind—-your countless reviews and post have helped so many people—I enjoy reading your reviews—very informative to every one———————-Thanks

teacher—I didn’t forget you—great way to sum it all up—are you the guy around the camp fire that keeps the two drunk friends from fighting—LOL

Thank you chops, I appreciate that. :+1: . But hey, even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.

Hmmmmm, that would depend on who the “two friends were”.

My experience is that many readers are not familiar with HTML (esp. URL idiosyncrasies), so shortening is often simpler.

Some shorteners also provide added value such as statistics gathering (e.g. goo.gl’s click analytics). For example, here is the analytics page for a link I posted Apr 10, 2017 to HKJ’s review of the DPS5015. The geographical distribution of clicks is often interesting (but here it is rather boring, mostly USA and Russia). But a link to a review of the LG D1 was clicked more in China than USA, possibly through some Chinese site (vs. BLF).

This is totally irrelevant ———-

^ Meta-level tangents about using the platform and working around its problems are common in every web forum. That’s how many users learn to use the forum.

gauss…. :person_facepalming: … I’m not raggin’ on you my friend. But this is what I am talking about…. I even “tried” to look it up. . No joy…
Given, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer… but this sounds like it came straight from a Jargon Generator … :weary:

Meta-level tangents = 元級切線 ……. both of these mean about the same thing to me.

Your gonna have to try and “dumb it down” a bit more or at least provide a link so I can find out what you mean when you write something like this…. please.

Maybe that is how I learned how to use forums…. but at this rate I’ll never know for sure.

I just completed a trivial test with 3 chargers—- 3100 / 3400 / Liitokala 500
With a 3 cell group of NOS laptop pulls that were charged and matched a year ago on the 3400 ( didn’t want to abuse good cells)
My conclusion—the BT-3100 mah reading is around 5-6 percent higher than the other 2 chargers—The 3400 and the 500 test fairly close on average—amazing considering the Opus’ discharge @ 1 amp and the Lii 500 @ .5 amp—— When you compare the readings as a group,then figure their percentage match—all 3 chargers are very close in that regard—- this set of cells with all 3 chargers is around 4% match— Not sure why there is #1 cell that is a flyer ( target term) but the overall average is pretty consistent

BT-3100 / Lii 500 / BT3400

cell #1 2122 / 2161 / 1999

cell #2 2208 / 2070 / 2070

cell #3 2166 / 2077 / 2083

So can anyone sum up what the differences are between the C3400 & C3100 v2.1?

[Nev]

The 3400 discharge to 3.1v ,3100 discharge to 2.8.

It would depend on when you bought the 3400…….

Haven’t bought one yet. My C3100 v1 is on its last leg, so I’m looking to get another…. or “upgrade” to the SkyRC MC3000

[teacher]

If you upgrade to the MC-3000 just be aware of what you are getting to. I only thought I knew when I got one…. :person_facepalming:

A great charger no doubt. :+1: Much to complicated for me though.

[Yourrid]

I love the UI of the Opus, but I feel like it’s worth the price point. I constantly get ghost battery indications (screen reads FULL after I take the battery out), bad voltage readings (full battery reads 0.2v), the fan has been giving me trouble for 2 years and just died, and one of the negative terminals snapped off so I’m left with 3 slots.

So I’ve heard that the newer Opus chargers have fixed these issues, but it makes me wonder if I should just invest in a higher priced charger
