Got a new charger-Miboxer C4-12, 4 slot X 3A/slot, total 12A output

Now that I have a couple of C8s in use, I”m eagerly awaiting HKJ’s review of the 4-cell charger.

And hoping for resellers in the US to pick these up. Have you sent one to MtnElectronics for review?

I see a good deal on this right now for $32.

Just ordered this as my 1st purchase thru Aliexpress after signing up yesterday. With seller coupon ($1) and Aliexpress select coupon ($2), shipped price was $29.33. Seems like a good deal.

Definitely. Normal prices are $45 to $50. I ordered one as well and got the same $3 coupons to bring the price down to $29.

If I had not my review sample I would order one for this price, same as my Nitecore D4 2 years ago, but much better charger 8x more current possible

Miboxer will come out an 8 slot charger soon----C8

Sent me email and let me know your idea of Miboxer C8 leo@miboxer.com

For me 2 4 port are more flexible, maybe in a company with lots of flashlights used every night an 8-port may be useful,
so they can charge em all to next shift

As its more one you dump in a lot cells and let it run till you need the cells
definitely terminate without trickle charge

Looks interesting. Might get C8 to replace what I have.

Is it still going to fit 26650 in all slots and still do 3A each? Like a C8-12 or C8-24.

It’s interesting, but the higher price might put some people off. On the other hand, for those that might be in the market for a big charger, if the price is less than buying 2 of the C4-12, then it would have appeal.

having that many slots is mostly used when no one is there to put new cells in when 4 cells are finished, like charging for next nightshift, while no one is around
usually it makes no sense to get very high charge currents on such chargers, simple 8x1-1.5A charger would do the job, no display or other fancy stuff

Nightshift? Are you thinking of corporate sales? I just assumed this was aimed at individuals or hobbiests.

Probably more like security/surveillance.

Flashlight testing, review. Stormy nights with downed trees and a mess to clean up, charge a lot of cells up and head out into the night. Charging cells for 2 BLF Q8’s, or one BLF GT. There’s a lot of reasons to have an 8 cell charger. I have 3 already, and it’s not enough even with the 4 bay and 2 bay chargers I have to assist them.

Was just talking with a friend earlier today and he’s looking for a good 8 bay charger at a decent price, he does a lot of reviews and his wife and son use up his lights, lol.

The 8 slot charger sounds nice for Giggles, for charging two Q8’s at a time, or for charging all 6 of the AA’s in my DSLR battery grip in a single charger. I prefer charging a set of batteries in the same charger, and this gets larger sets done in a single shot.

Doh! Leaftye beat me to it -

Or maybe some people would like to charge up all 8 cells for their BLF GT ….

Sure, you could do 4 at a time like Lexel indicated but you’ve just doubled your wait time. Lets say you have a 4 slot (1 amp per cell) charger and 8x 3000mah 18650. That’s a lot of hours to charge batteries for 1 torch (not to mention having to change over cells halfway). This 8 cell charger would look appealing after that.

It would be great if new C8 would use same power supply as C4-12 and have option to charge 4 cells at 3A and 8 cells at 1,5A . Man that’s what I’m imagining a dream charger. You could charge all 8 cells for BLF GT in 2 hurs if using 30Q-s :smiley:

I would definitely like to review one of those when they become available for testing….

8 cell charger? Sign me up!!! Interested for the GT light!

I’ve got 20 years in night security. Guards don’t share flashlights. I’ve never seen it at least.

1A over 8 bays (with multiple charging rate options) sounds like a dream charger to me as well.

That would mean .125A/bay, right? Just kidding :beer:
