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

the video will flip round a bit later

Any update?

How does it compare to your Opus chargers?

10

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

11

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

12

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?

13

Has HKJ done a review on this yet ??

14

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.

15

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

I’m looking forward to a Nitecore F2 review myself :slight_smile:

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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.

20

Thanks for the preview!

21

Is this worth the premium over the Lii-500?

22

The 500 is an analyzer, the SC4 is not, but the SC4 can charge slightly faster and handle more chemistries.
What do you need most?

23

I have had mine for about a week. I have only used it on the default settings. I have charged Lithium Ion (protected and non protected) 18650, 14500, 10440, 18350, 26650, RCR123A, Eneloop and Eneloop Pro AA and AAA and Amazon Basics AA and AAA. All has worked great until tonight when slot 4 ceased to work with any type/size of cell. With a battery in slot 4, it would not be recognized and I could not use the C button to tab over to slot 4 and I could not adjust the charging rate for slot 4. I tried unplugging the SC4 and trying again but with no luck. I have just sent an email to info@nitecore.com and I will see what they have to say. This was purchased from Banggood

Any suggestions?

Thanks

24

Do you have slot priority turned on for slots 1 and 2 by any chance?

25

I really don’t know. I just plugged it in and started putting batteries into it. How can I check that?

Thanks for the suggestion

26

There is a section in the owner’s manual called “Charging in Priority Function”. Take a look at it.

I believe it is off by default.

27

I will check when I get home

Thanks so much!
