Not sure. It is possible if the original connector’s center terminal is spilt, if so it may able to expand enough to fit over the Lito Kala’s 2.1mm positive pin. I wouldn’t try forcing it though.
Too bad you don’t live local to me. I’d gladly solder a 2.1mm connector on the cable for you. I keep those in stock.
This is one of my stocked connectors. I use 18 guage speaker wire when I make my cables.
In my post above I made a typo. I meant to say I wouldn’t try forcing it. You could end up damaging the Littokala’s power input connector if it doesn’t go in without excessive force.
Not connector related, but a Lii-500 question;I have a old charger that recognizes and charges an older unprotected cell of mine, but the Lii-500 does not activate at all when I insert that cell. What does this mean?
Ever since I started playing with 18650 cells and chargers that need high current 12V supplies I've been keeping an eye open for 12v power supplies when browsing 2hnd/pawn shops, found 2 x mint Xbox 360 power supplies, beasts for $4 a piece. Can't beat that value and their build inside must be excellent. Here's how to convert them to our uses:
Has anyone tried taking them near their limit of 12V 12A?
That's probably enough to charge a lead acid car battery quite quickly!
Just a heads up guys…There is an identical LiitoKala Lii500 clone known as the Varicore V40 and the Accupower IQ338 is the same charger with a slightly different body. I have been searching high and low for the best prices for the Lii500…in fact I was almost scammed by 2 different eBay sellers for 6 chargers. Luckily eBay came through and banned the fake sellers.
I saw somewhere that there are a couple of brands that claim to be the LitoKala inside. The vendor I am looking at model is JDY IC99V3.1. They seem to be knowledgeable. They cite newer differences with earlier LitoKala versions.
Anyone ever heard of that item? Is it a fake? Or just an different badge?
That looks more like an OPUS 3100 to me. Granted its name is V3.1 I am wondering if it is an OPUS 3100 clone. I am currently in dispute with the official LiitoKala store on Aliexpress over a defective Lii-500 Engineer they sent me. The mode button was completely depressed into the housing and even after repairing it, it still sinks into the unit. I am looking for a suitable, economic replacement.
That is what I thought as well for the V3.1. They seem to be talking about the Lii, but what they say seems like Opus.
There is an Opus 3400 V3.1. But what I saw did not have anything about improvements. The JDY unit does not look like either the new Opus or the Lii 500. So I am thinking I should leave it alone.
I have been looking for a review of the JDY without luck.
