Hello all. Wasnt sure if i should post this in the charger or battery area of the forum.
I just got the lumintop Tool AA V2 and i have 2 Orbtronic protected 840mAh 14500s Sanyo/Samsung core i believe it said.
Anyway,i have 2 of the Xtar SV2 Rocket chargers along with my Miboxer C4-12. The 14500 don’t fit in my Miboxer but AAs do just fine.
Is the SV2 a good enough charger for the 14500 cells or should i consider something else?
I’m not very familiar with the 14500s…. This lumintop is my very first 14500 light as my other EDC.
Thanks
Oh btw i ordered my cells directly from Orbtronic website and 2 more from mtnelectronics.
I know that the rocket charger will go back to 1amp charge rate if i lose power for even just a split second (happens a lot here).
Not mine. I have to lift them up both positive and negative side, then they look like they’re about to come flying out. Idk if it’s from the button top protection or what.
All I know is that ALL my NiMH AA fit perfectly fine in there. Just not these Orbtronic cells.
Besides, the Miboxer is a bit big for something that I want to take traveling with me. Any suggestions?
Thanks! I’m guessing using a good micro USB cable with it is a good idea with least resistance like a was asking about in a thread a while ago for the charger?
Wtf lol I HATE my Miboxer! Except for when it does decide to work great then I love it. Should I just order another one? Maybe I got one of their old funky chargers or something.
The resistance for ALL of my Panasonic’s, Sanyo cells from Richard all say 700, 999 resistance and they’re brand spanking new.
Those 26650 and solder blobbed 30Qs are mostly the only cells I have where the resistance doesn’t bounce all over the place
I just use the cable that comes with the charger or whatever I have handy.
Never seen the Liitokala’s on Amazon.
Check out M4DM4X’s site for a Discount code at Banggood though.
You can get a WUBEN ARF2 on Amazon. It is the same as the Lii 202, it’ll just cost you more on Amazon. I did notice there was a 40% off seller coupon available though. That will put it at $12. That is still a good bit more than using M4DM4X for a Lii202 though.
