BTW guys, this project will have to be put on hold…
I just reread an email from DLYFull and this is what they had to say:
Dear BlueSwordM,
Firstly, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
I am sorry the UC4 charger is pending because of higher price with no big wholesale customers. So my boss asked my engineer team to stop it for other projects. Was not okay for this.
We know BLF projects usually are successful, but my boss was not agreeing even with the design sent by you. He said current chargers are good enough to make money and not risk with completely new designs.
But the good news is that we are going to make a advanced charger which will better than the UC4 which is suitable for the battery engineers. We have talked
about the functions last week. It is so complicated charger, so we will need many time to check functioning features . It may be started at 2020, total will cost about 1 year
to finish. All function and appearance will be designed by ourselves.
So once the project is working, I will let you know and tell our team to consider all feature that you mentioned. It has been very good working with you. I think I may find a way for you to work in the design process,
but don’t know about result from boss.
Best regards,
Jeff
TLDR: They are considering building a charger similar to mine, but with their stuff instead, for which I understand.
TLDR2: I should get myself a 3D printer to do some prototypes.
TLDR3: Since they are not working with me right now, I guess I should build a functioning basic charger prototype for the casing.
TLDR4: I just got someone else to work with me, so project should go a little quicker.
