One comment/suggestion: I would make separate columns for each chemistry and then you can just put a green check mark in the column for each that the charger supports. I think this would make it a little easier to view.
For NiMH you may also want to add a note about whether or not it can support C and D sized cells. For Liion, maybe a note about how many 26650s fit since most 4 bay chargers can only fit 2 of the largest cells. You could probably create a couple symbols that represent each. Maybe put those symbols in the # of Slots column?
Good comments, let me try explaining about why I did it this way:
Column for each chemistry: Easier to see, but makes the table wider. I was planning on making multiple tables as I noted at the top.
Mostly 26=C and 32=D in diameter, this will have to go into the comments to the table.
Symbols for number of batteries works fine for 1-4 slots chargers, but the Ikea 12 slot spoils it (I am rather sensitive about the width of the table).
But I will see about adding something to say if the charger support full load of large batteries or not.
Not a bad idea, but the picture of each charger already shows the number of cell that can be used in it.
Strike that comment…. there is already a column for number of slots. Anything besides what is listed already would be clutter, IMHO.
I really do like the key to the rating system also KHJ. I like it better than using a “big smiley”… this makes it easier to understand I think.
I do not believe I can do that. I cannot see a good way to add that information to the list. I am not sure it will be a good idea to fill more information into the slot column.
I have updated the original post with the latest improvements.
Thinking a bit about it, I found a way. Now I will color the numbers in the two single slot current columns red, if the charger need a pair to charge.
I have updated the table.
I cannot promise that 100%, other good ideas may show up.
I am also wondering about how many different indexes to generate (The only work for me is the initial configuration, after that it will be automatic):
All charges
NiMH only chargers
Universal chargers (NiMH+LiIon)
LiIon chargers (Any charger with support for LiIon)
Analyzers (All chemistries)
Good chargers
Bad chargers
Chargers with power bank function
USB powered chargers
Chargers support >70mm long cells.
It can easily be too many, I will have to limit it.
Might be nice if it was possible to sort by clicking on the the desired column, like slots, current, charger name etc. It’s always frustrating to have to through the entire table to find a specific charger. Most of the time if it’s not possible to sort I don’t even bother.
For me, I’d be happy with just the basics:
All charges
NiMH only chargers
Universal chargers (NiMH+LiIon)
LiIon chargers (Any charger with support for LiIon)
Analyzers (All chemistries)
For chargers that support >70mm long cells, maybe you could color the max cell length in green in the table? That would make it stand out a little more for people looking for that.
