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

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

I do like the 10 different charging rates.
Li-ion:
0.1A/0.2A/0.3A/0.5A/0.8A/1.0A/1.5A/2.0A/2.5A/3.0A

You can pretty much charge any sized cell at its highest safest level for faster charge times. Nobody likes waiting. Lol

Great for charging 8 10440’s at the same time! :wink:

The Miboxer C8 charging 8pcs battery at 800ma Simultaneously

and charging 4pcs battery at 1.5A Simultaneously

12 different charging rates.
Li-ion and Ni-MH Ni-Cd
0.1A/0.2A/0.3A/0.4A/0.5A/0.6A/0.7A/0.8A/0.9A/1.0A/1.2A/1.5A

I think a lot of people will be disappointed with the lower charge rates. This is half the power of the C4-12 instead of double the power.

.8A is fine with me. I won’t be using the GT during the day anyway. I normally charge cells at .5

I find those rates perfectly fine. 18650’s would charge at sufficient rates to not be slow, good rates for AA NiMH cells too. When I have a big event photo shoot I’m charging up 40 cells, to have another 8 bay charger that will take AA NiMH would be very important to my preparation. As an 18650 charger it would be a viable back-up to the C4-12. Nicely done. :wink:

I think the C8 is an extension of the older C4 charger which did 4 x 0.8A.

I mistakenly though it would be an extension of the C4-12.

if you want it quick get 2 C4-12 for 8 slots

Me? No thanks, I’m set for chargers.

There were a lot of people on the GT thread that were looking for a 8 slot charger that could do 1.5A to 2A per cell.

There are already 8 slot chargers on the market that can do higher output than the C8. The Gyrfalcon All-88 does 8 x 1A.

I got excited because I thought the C8 might let me charge my many 26650 cells at 3A each.

Oh :weary: I was also under the impression that it was an extension of the C4-12. Not so appealing to me now.

I have a c4-12 on route from 11.11, looking forward to replacing my VC4.

I’d be interested in an 8 bay but it would need to be at least as powerful as the c4-12, so 8 bays at 1.5A.

If not I can’t see any point, better with 2x c4-12 as mentioned above.

8 bays at 3A would be awesome but I appreciate that’s probably about 120w required :open_mouth:

That link actually shows it for $44.90, so let see, I can order it there and maybe get it in 12 weeks or maybe like my last two orders at aliexpress, never get it at all, or I can order it at Amazon for $49.99 and actually get it in 2 days, kind of a no braner for me.

You missed out on the 11.11 sale, sorry. If you need it quick, then Amazon is definitely the way to go. I don’t need it right now, so ordering overseas is no big deal. I usually get it in about 2 weeks.

Your in florida, right? Why would it take 12 weeks? That would be normal for Cape Town, South Africa, but not the US.

Banggood might have it on their upcoming black Friday sale. Do they deliver to you in 2 weeks?

.8A simultaneous is underwhelming. It’s going to have to sell for under $45 with Amazon Prime if it can do 8x26650’s simultaneously to match the competition here, or be priced comparably to the Xtar MC6 if it can only do 8x18650’s.

I got my C4-12 today and I have to say, this is one impressive charger! I have pretty basic chargers aside from this, never really figured out how to use the Opus. This one automatically detects the best charge rate and has at it, displaying cell temperature, internal resistance, mAh charged, time of charge, and voltage of the cell, as well as percentage of full. All this automatically scrolls through. I was very surprised a few minutes ago when I put a protection circuit stripped Trustfire 32650 in… 25mOhm resistance! Wow, that’s the lowest I’ve seen on any of the cells I’ve tested. And the charger automatically started charging at a 3A rate. Very nice. This will undoubtedly be my go-to charger from here on out! :smiley:

Nice!

I ordered my C4-12 on 11-11 and I’m still waiting for it. :frowning:

When I ordered the C4-12 it was backordered. It’s been a while and quite honestly, I’d forgotten about it. So today, when this package arrived in the mailbox, I was puzzled. The size of the package and the weight of it had me confused, I knew it wasn’t a flashlight due to the weight, and then when I opened it… Pleasant surprise! The large laptop computer style AC adapter is really nice, the unit itself is robust in size, much larger than my other 4 bay chargers with ample space between bays to grab a cell and remove it without disturbing the other cells still charging. I think what I like most about it is the “smart” factor, it tests the cell when you put it in then automatically charges at a safe rate for the specific cell. For me, being so forgetful, this is perfect! I don’t have to remember to change charging rates, whether I put a 10440 in one bay and a 32650 in another, it selects the proper rate not only based on the capacity of the cell but also on the current percentage of charge, tapering the charge rate at the end of the charging cycle to match the cell. Smarter than I am, for sure. lol

I got mine from the 11.11 sale last week, it’s been my go to charger since, very good.
