Yep….Interested

definately interesting, but the price is a bit high
or I am just getting too cheap chargers from Miboxer with their coupons

Oh well, I paid more than $100 for the SkyRC mc3000 when it came out, only to read horror stories from broken retaining spring pins, shut-down from 4x1a discharge mode, wrong fan orientation and arguably the worst (for me) UI ever (someone even made a ‘cheat sheet’ just to properly operate it) that until now this charger of mine is just in its box sleeping soundly.

Looking at the video looks like this is the analyzer for me.

Interested

Can you calibrate it like the mc3000 or is it the usuall lucky dip, if I spend that much on a charger then I want it to be as accurate as a fluke DMM & it needs to be consistent on all slots.

Oh how I wish Fluke make a touch screen charger/analyzer, cost be damned!

They don’t & you don’t need them to, just get a skyrc mc3000 and you know it’s gonna do what it says on the box.
I wasted a lot of money on the latest greatest chargers in the past ,most are not accurate & if you win the lucky dip & find an accurate one the next problem is getting one that’s constant on all slots.
A few weeks ago I bought an all88 charger because I wanted to be able to charge 8 battery’s for my BLF.GT all to 4.2volts ,yes it will charge 8 battery’s to 4.2volts ( according to the display) but in reality some will be 4.17 some will be 4.15 some will be 4.whatever.
So I just spent £60 on another mc3000 so I could have 8 cells come off the charger at 4.2volts & they all settle to around 4.18 after a while.
The chargers I own are
Opus 3100
Xtar vc4
Skyrc mc3000
Soshine whatever it’s number is
Falcon ? All88
A couple others I can’t be bothered to get out any more ,I can’t be bothered to remember thier names
None are accurate or constant .
As far as I know skyrc is the only one yo can calibrate ,I’ve lost all faith in standard chargers to be accurate & constant .
Maybe this new overpriced charger will eventually come down in price & will be upgraded later to be able to be calibrated , I may be interested then but for for now I’ll swerv it.
But thanks anyway:BEER:

After a massive spam attack, bump to a charger gb for members with relatively deep pockets!

I second this. They have a charger which can support firmware updates according to HKJ but unless they commit to actually providing them this purchase seems a bit risky.

Today’s bump!

I am in. Thanks.

game needs to be changed for way better chargers and this looks good.
I have a Dragon Xtar and LiitoKala.

You’re added to the list. :beer:

Does it support NiZn?

I would like to be in on this too. I do have a couple of chargers, but - you know how it happens - there’s always another flashlight to keep fed…

Is there a US plug version?

The power suply has a c7 plug so if the voltage rating is 110/240vac 50/60hz you could use your own cord.

Me too! Precisely why we keep on buying more flashlights than we can practically use! … and batteries, and….

I will check.
