The making of the BLF UC4 charger: the start of a new venture, INTEREST LIST, UPDATE 7 (Well, ramping stopped :/ )

Interested in one.

Okay, I just came across this whilst researching chargers. I’d been looking at the SkyRC MC3000. Other than the USB bits (and proposed price), how does the charger in this thread differ from the MC3000?

Please add my name to the interest list, thanks!

How many batteries can this charge at once?

Ok, let’s answer some questions:

@malkoffdevices, it’ll be a pure upgrade over the 500S, while being a discharging+USB data out+software add-ons that will make it much better as an all in one charger vs the C4-12.

@riffraff, it supports additional features, such as adjustable end charge voltage, very low current very low voltage recovery, and a higher continuous charge rate.

@California_Prepper, it can charge 4x cells.

Well, hell. Then sign me up, son! :+1: :+1: :sunglasses: :exclamation: LOL.

(Edited to request a quantity of one.)

Is there some information how the information display may look like?

Aside from a charger being a “good charger” (charges a proper CC-CV curve, adjustable charge current, adjustable end-charge voltage, discharging at different discharge currents, etc), I also like looking at the charger information when charging or discharging is in progress (I usually keep my battery chargers near my eyesight while I’m working on something else, and glance at the informational display every now & then).

In particular, real-time charging current, (real-time) voltage display, and able to check the internal resistance quickly. How much capacity is charged/discharged at how much time (I like the MC3000 which can show a lot of information if needed). I understand we’re not aiming this charger to have the complexity level of the MC3000, but informational display + some adjustments are some of my preference for “yet another charger”…

I also would like one.

Please put me on the list for one. Thanks!

@d_t_a, this is what I’m designing first. :slight_smile:

One

Everything I’ve gotten from the BLF group works great!
Customs from Canada to US an issue?

Interested , for 1 .

Please put me on the list for 1 piece.
Thanks!

How will be delivered?Direct from the manufacturer or through BG?

Initially, it will be sold by two retailers: one international, and one US retailer.

There are other plans, but that depends on other factors.

Interested in one please

ok. Please put me down for 1!

Interested in 1. Cheers!

Interested in 2

Any chance of this thing displaying the batteries’ internal resistance? :+1:
