Engineer Lii-260(LiitoKala) the smartest li-ion charger in a world?

I have two ‘good’ chargers. The iCharger 106B+ and the Pila IBC. In my experience from both of them, the terminal voltage of 4.20V (or the the failure of the charger to charge to 4.20V) is actually dependent on the cell. I have tried charging various brand-new Panasonic, AW, Sony, LG, Samsung and Sanyo cells and while the the iCharger terminate at exactly 4.20V, the holding voltage of the specific cell determines whether that cell holds 4.20V when taken off the charger. Seldom do I see a cell hold a 4.20V, or least for a few minutes actually. (side note: almost all Pila IBC does not terminate at 4.20V, always on the low 4.14 to 4.19V)

there are no charger(except hobby chargers) that has functions like this one (at least for now). It is unique...

Pila are considered as premium chargers so I am glad to hear that they also have low termination...

I think this lii-260 charger is real champion, real progression in charger world. Hope plenty of charger manufacturers will follow this idea "all in one charger".

But there is always place for improvement...

Thing that could make Lii-260 charger as a perfect choice would be added option for changing termination voltage from 4,35 & 4,2V. I think they can do that if they want... So dear China engineers if you will ever watch this thread made one and you'll be the king, and of course don't let your fellow citizens copy your patent ;)

Update: I tested one more brand new blue ultrafire 2600 mah :) battery for friend and got following results:

675 mah capacity(add +10% and results are 742mah), but incredible well internal resistance of 54mR(this is very strange because last one mR measured on crappy fires were 150, maybe 16340 is fitted inside this tested 18650 battery?),

good….but i want first one review from the BLF legendary charcher tester member HKJ

i have time ago buy the soshine sc h2…. crappy charger.

It's not quite an all in one charger since it doesn't charge nimh chargers. This one does though.

I believe the Nitecore D4 will do all that too.

It's a decent value though.

My review is nearly done, but I had an accident and need a new unit to finish the review. It is on order, but it will be a couple of weeks.

In the meantime I will test/review a couple of Soshine chargers, a simple Xtar charge may also be included.

HKJ, you don't have a Nitecore D4 in the pipeline do you?

No, nobody has send me one.

I might look for one myself later on.

Liitokala (Exocoetus volitans):

The name of this charger makes me smile, every time I see it. :)

[Liitokala is the Finnish name for the above pictured flying fish - literal translation would be "GlidingFish"]

Anyways, thanks for the review! The charger looks very nice. I'm seriously considering to buy one..

Hmm . . . seems nice! Nice and simple! Keeping an eye on this one.

I want to know things like how the spacing and soldering of the components looks inside, as well.

HLK are any of the new chargers capable of charging D batteries?

I just bought 12 Tenergy Ds and don’t have a charger that will charge them.

I do not have any D capable charges in queue for review (One of the Soshine does C cell, it is not perfect, but useable).

The only working D cell charger I remember to have tested is the BT-C2000.

If I wanted to buy a D cell charger that could charge many cells, I would look for a Maha C808M, but it is a bit on the expensive side (I have never tested it, but my general experience from using Maha is good).

It would be very nice if it could charge all possible batteries + 4,35 to 4,2 V selection and of course for less than 20$ if possible :)

Me also... I am waiting for pro review of this little charger. But even now I trust him and for first time I am leaving charger unattended :) and it is doing everything what I need...

I just say "liito kala charge!" And he charges, and then I say "liito kala measure capacity!" And he does all that while I am gone on beer ;)

I have that problem too!

That is much more dangerous than playing with LiIon batteries

Well it is good for nerves but bad for body especially for belly :)

And sometimes doctors recommends warm beer for kidney stones(seriously I am not kidding here)

When you move around and depending on how you move around it can also be very bad for other parts of the body, especially after a large dose.

And the next morning can be bad for the head and stomach .

But if you can handle it responsible, the risk is minimal (Like LiIon)

Exactly good beer is like good li-ion battery :)

I might need to clarify something lost in translation. “Gone on beer” could be interpreted in English, Australian English anyway, as well and truly drunk. While I assume the meaning you intended was simply free of concern over the battery charging and having a beer?

But I agree with all of it. Except the charger, I have no idea until I see a review with charts and stuff. No hints yet HJK?

And you said you had an accident while testing it, what kind of accident?

I understood it without any amount specification, i.e. it could be 1 beer or 20 beers.

It looks good until now.

I simulated a battery with too high voltage, when checking the voltage readout (At least I believe that was the reason). The discharge function is gone and I believe that this problem might have spoiled the resistance measurement.
