I like the capacity test that can include D cells. I’m using an Opus BT-C100 for testing my D NiMH capacities.
But I’m not sure about auto selecting the charging current by battery resistance with no option for manual current selection. Can someone tell me if this is better and why?
Hopefully there is an override using the mode button… Otherwise this might be a deal breaker… ugh… And boy, XTAR is good at incorporating deal breakers in their chargers…
I drive a car with an automatic gearbox, although I could ride a manual gearbox but with a more precise gear selection. I choose the automatic gearbox.
Agreed. Complete deal breaker. Other than the PB2 I own, I don’t think there’s an XTAR charger I’d buy because each one I’ve researched has some sort of deal breaker.
Not a good analogy, charging current is a “set and forget” option vs the active task of driving a car and how driving a manual requires a lot of constant effort and attention.
This is more like turning “active eco” or throttle response to different options before starting your drive.
I’ve heard some negative feedback about the PB2, like not being able to charge low-draw items. But I’m curious of the many ways you find it to be a flop.
No, BlueSwordM is asking for an automatic transmission that has a manual shifting mode for when the driver wants to take full control and override the normal shift logic, like those often found in luxury cars.
Based on my experience with a TC2, I’d agree. It’s frustrating because it refuses to charge my 30Qs at anything above 500mA, and there’s no way to override it.
But is nice to see more manufacturers embrace the extra power of QC for their USB-input models.
I don't think there's a single point here I disagree with. I don't mind slower charge rats as much, so the 3A or higher isn't important to me. I actually currently charge my 5500mAh Shocklis on a 0.5A charger ;)
I used to have access to a lot of goodies at a previous place of work, with a Cadex C7400.
