Please add me to the list for 1, Thanks.

I am in for one.

Interested in one.

How have i missed this until now??

I’m definitely in for one so i can finally get my 10250s charged. But put me down for 2 please because that’s probably what i’ll get.

Interested. Thanks.

Oooo, how about an efficiency calculation mode for our batteries?

For example:
3000ma during discharge / 3500ma to re-charge = 85.7% efficiency.

Sounds like everything you could ever want in a charger.

Count me in for one

Please can you add me to the interest list, thanks.

No!, not to too complex, not to complicate, the simple to be the most useful.
Yes to measure impedance (internal resistance).
Yes measure capacity (in discharge).
Yes to storage load (3,7V ).
If load 3.6V (LiFePO4), 4.20 / 4.35V (Li-ion), 1.48V (Ni-MH / Ni-Cd and 2.0 Ni-Zn.
If manual / auto charge selection.
Long bays (slots) (if you can still change casing design), future 26,800?

Just wondering if there should be a timer cut-off (eg. if battery has been charging for over xx hours, stop charging since it means the battery may not be taking in to long to charge, indicating a bad battery)… Although selecting a very low charge current to a very high capacity battery will also result in charging for very long hours… so I’m not sure how this would be done.

This would be a new “mode”. It wouldn’t complicate existing modes.
When this mode gets used, it would top off the battery, discharge it, recharge it, then display efficiency.
