Nitecore SC4 - Superb Charger

[Anthon]

does it measure or test the capacity of the cells? that’s the reason I’m resisting to buy it

[chrisc]

Hi,

The manual can be found here: http://charger.nitecore.com/pdf/SC4_UM_EN.pdf

It doesn’t look like it’ll discharge and recharge the cells. I purchased this because of the faster charge rate and the fact it is silent. Sometimes I want to charge my cells in a quiet environment and the pair of Opus chargers I’ve got are simply too noisy for that.

The charger only counts the mAh charged to the cell, there is no discharge capacity test

I’m just confused about the 4 × 2000mAh being displayed yet a max output of 6A

Yeah, that’s odd. The manual clearly states 4 x 1500mAh. You might want to shoot Nitecore an email and ask about it. They’re usually pretty good about responding in a timely fashion.

[Lexel]

mAh is the capacity mA is charging current

[Pete7874]

@Lexel

mAh is the capacity mA is charging current

Of course. I goofed. Thanks for the correction.

[chrisc]

It was my bad. I was lazy when I was typing it earlier

Any update?

How does it compare to your Opus chargers?

[chrisc]

I love it. Best bit about it is the silence. I use it all the time now.

Thanks. What did you have before and how does it compare?

So I’m still not sure…this is a 4 channel 2A (per channel) charger, so 8A over 4 channels?

But if you have 2 26650’s in the 2 outside slots it’s 2 bays at 3A each?

Has HKJ done a review on this yet ??

[korpzgrinda]

Not that I have found, and I was looking for an HKJ review too. Someone probably has to send him a unit so he can do what he does.

[Phlogiston]

It’s either in HKJ’s queue, or it’s on the shortlist to be added to the queue. See here:

I’m excited for HKJ’s review of both this and the Miboxer C4-12 (3A over 4 channels)

The C4-12 is not on my schedule or in my queue yet , the SC4 review will be published in about two weeks.

the SC4 review will be published in about two weeks.

The heavy discount is today only if I understand it right.
Is there a reason to avoid it?

Regular charging of LiIon works very well, but not everything is perfect, you will have to wait for the review to see what the problematic areas are.

Is this worth the premium over the Lii-500?
