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
The C4 Plus can also handle LiFePO4 cells as well as Li-Ion 4.35V cells.
Ordered from Germany but do you plan to sell it on Amazon UK?
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?
is this 2.5 amp, all 4 slots at the same time?
or up to 2.5amps for less than 4?
Also $36.95… thats the promo price for blf, or ………?
Ordered it this morning and it was $25 and change.

As per the original post:
thanks for that
It’s mainly a speed difference. When charging 4 cells concurrently, the C4-12 will be able to charge them faster.
Other than that, the C4 Plus supports additional chemistries and additional (longer) cell sizes.
I’d like this level discount on the C4-12 !
Amazon shows that the C4-12 does support a couple 700 series batteries…
Can you list this on the Amazon Australia website or on Aliexpress with the special discount code? Australian customers cannot buy from other Amazon stores around the world.
This looks like a nice modern charger that can accept the longest protected 21700 batteries…
Seems like an improvement to the Miboxer C4-12, with just slightly lower charger current (C4-12 handles 4x3A, while C4-Plus handles 4x2.5A) but 2.5A and 3.0A charging time shouldn’t differ too much except maybe when charging those high capacity 5000-6000mAh 21700 or 26650 cells, right?
Max on the C4-Plus is 4x1.5A, or 2x2.5A.
One thing I noticed with mine is you can set the charge rate but it never charges at that rate. It’s always substantially lower then it drops rather quickly. Then the last 10mah takes forever. Shows a charge rate of a tenth or lower. Still seems like a good unit. I have plenty of batteries so I don’t have to wait on the ones charging. I know it’s designed so that it protects the batteries.
Is this describing one feature, or two?
How does it work exactly?
Me too, Please share the code
Is that with a high IR battery?
For batteries that have around 30mOhms or less IR, they finish charging quite fast on the Miboxer C4-12.
I think the lowest charge current I’ve seen on the C4-12 is 0.05A (or was it 0.04A) before it completes charging for that battery…
The new C4+ seems to be having some odd behaviour. According to its manual the maximum charge rate is determined by the internal resistance. So far so good. But when you put in a 18350 high current battery (e.g. Vapecell / Aspire) the C4+ would charge it with insane 2.5 amps, i.e. 2.5-3C! Of course, you can set it to a lower value manually but I would rather prefer it the other way around in order to avoid cell damages due to improper charge rates.
Another important fact is that LiFePO4-batteries that must not be charged with the standard profile (3.6V instead of 4.2V) may be at risk when you encounter a sudden power outage without any supervision. Once power is restored the C4+ would automatically start to charge the LiFePO4 battery up to 4.2V, i.e. there's an immanent risk of explosion. I am aware that this is probably a design flaw on more or less any chargers that can handle both 3.6V and 4.2V. Anyway, it's something that should not be disregarded when charging LiFePO4 batteries.
