The C4-12 is not (yet) capable to handle protected 20700/21700 batteries. MiBoxer has extended the length of those charging bays on the C4 and C4+. FWIW, I assume the (new) C4+ can handle 4x 26650 while the (new) C4 cannot.
So, your C4-12 is still up to date apart from the length of the charging bays. ;-)
I just got it today and it says it will accept 21700’s and it looks to be large enough to handle 4 26650’s. This thing is huge compared to my lii 500. I guess a protected cell could be close (21700). I just measured it and the length of the bay is 76mm.
Is it possible to list this on the Australian Amazon website? Australians are not able to buy from US or any other Amazon countries. Maybe official Aliexpress store with the same discount code?
Due to new tax laws, Australians cannot buy from ANY Amazon online websites, does not matter which country. You should list it on Aliexpress. Australians can buy from there because they charge the GST, you will sell a lot, big market.
the charger works internally with a higher voltage like 12V as the C4-12
5V USB cant handle the power consumtion this one has What I really would appreciate would be a proper USB type C input with 12V coding and cable newer USB with high voltage supplies can support often 25-40W up to 15V which should work
Maybe you can find an adapter USB to 12V plus or make one
Yea I realize this charger is unable to but I already have high power USB hubs so I prefer chargers which I dont have to worry about power supply and cable. Just plug in to any port on my 5-6 slot USB hub.
USB C with power delivery spec or otherwise would be much better I agree but I think maybe one or none exist so far by any brand.
yes chargers have not USB C output, but the higher voltage and like 2.4A should be possible one side USB A and other type C to deliver enough power for this charger
even its not that powerful than the C4-12 it does not have the brick of external PSU which I do not like on the C4-12 and C2-6000 model
at least Dual input like Nitecore has for an external 12-15V PSU would be nice so it can be used in a car
I’m a noob when it comes to rechargeable batteries, and I’ve been looking at chargers for them, something for an Xmas present. I’ve been looking at chargers off and on for a year now, and finally settled on the Miboxer C4-12, until I seen this C4 plus.
I’ll proabbly mainly be charging 18650’s, I use a flashlight a lot at work, and they will mainly be for that to start. (I have to pick out a new flashlight too, but first a charger). I know I can get a cheaper charger that doesn’t have as many features as these two, but I am set on one of these, just in case I start getting more into it in the future.
My question for you with all the the experience, between the c4-12 and the c4 plus, which one would be better for a noob like me?
