NITECORE Professional Charger Series
Digicharger D2
Hi everybody! 
Last week I bought myself a new battery charger - NITECORE Digicharger D2. I purchased it from the official distributor for Bulgaria Batteryservice.bg for € 19.50. I like this model because it can be used for many types of batteries and thus eliminating the need to own several chargers. At first glance the charger looks good. The manufacturing quality is high.
There is a list of compatible batteries in the front of the package.
The features of the charger.
• Capable of charging 2 batteries simultaneously
• Each of the two battery slots monitors and charges independently
• Compatible with and identifies Li-ion (26650, 22650, 18650, 1 7670, 18490, 17500, 18350, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 10440), Ni-MH and Ni-Cd (AA, AAA, AAAA, C) rechargeable batteries
• Optimized charging design for IMR batteries
• Integrated LCD panel clearly displays charging parameters and progress
• Two conveniently located side buttons allow easy selection of specific battery types and charging parameters
• Intelligent circuitry detects the battery type and status before entering automatic charge mode (CC, CV, dV/dt)
• Automatically detects battery power status and selects the appropriate voltage and charge mode (with the exception of LiFePO4 batteries which require manual selection)
• Compatible with LiFePO4 batteries
• Compatible with small capacity batteries
• Automatically stops charging when complete
• Features over-charge prevention to protect batteries
• Features temperature monitoring to prevent overheating
• Made from durable ABS (fire retardant / flame resistant)
• Features reverse polarity protection
• Designed for optimal heat dissipation
• Certified by RoHS, CE, FCC and CEC
• Insured worldwide by Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.

The display with white illumination. Charging slots charges and monitors batteries independently.
There are “MODE” and “SLOT buttons on the left side of the housing.
To view the charging progress of a different charging slot press the side “SLOT” button to select a desired slot.
To entering in Nocturnal Charging Mode simply press and hold the side “SLOT” button for more than 1 second in any state until the LCD backlight turns off.
Pressing the side “MODE” button will cycle between the charging parameters.
The display is large. All the information on it is clearly visible.
Measurement of the battery voltage. The maximum voltage for Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries is 1.48 V, for LiFePO4 batteries is 3.7 V, for Li-ion batteies is 4.2 V.
Measuring the charging current. When one or two batteries are charged in D2, each charging slot will receive a maximum output current of 0.5A except the Low Mode.
Elapsed time.
AC 100-240V and DC 12V power input sockets.
The specifications and the manufacturer are written on the label.
Each bay slides at minimum 30 mm.
Each bay slides at maximum 70 mm.
The maximum power consumption from the mains in Stand-By Мode and Eco Mode mode is 0.3W.
The maximum power consumption from the mains in Chargе Мode varies, but remains less than 10 watts.
The charger automatically detects Li-ion, Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries.
To charge LiFePO4 batteries, simply press and hold the side “MODE” button for more than 2 seconds.
Charging Small Capacity Batteries - simply press the side “SLOT” button to select a desired battery slot and then press and hold the side “MODE” button for more than 1 second until “LOW” is displayed on the LCD. The charge current will be limited to a maximum of 300 мА.
There is a “Chg. Finish” text on the display which is used on finished channels. When all channels with batteries are finished the display will show “Chg. Finish ALL”.
Until now for charging my batteries I used two different chargers - one for Li-ion and another for Ni-MH/Ni-Cd. After much experimentation with the Nitecore charger I found that D2 is doing much better with charging different types batteries. An advantage is that the charging current can be reduced for batteries with less capacity. It would be better if the charger was able to charge with a current of 1 Ampere if only one slot is included battery. The display shows in details all the necessary information. The charger has automatic detection of the batteries(with the exception of LiFePO4). The charger is protected from backward battery installation, temperature protection and overtime prevention. This is a really smart universal battery charger.
After charging the Li-ion battery with the new charger I found that my modified Flashlight illuminates stronger. The Peak Beam Intensity measured with a Luxmeter is 14 400 cd - 20% more than charging with the old charger. The battery is stronger - provides higher current and therefore LED glows more brightly. It is awesome.
I am very happy with purchasing of the Digicharger D2.
