Review request for HKJ [Chargers]

The Gyrfalcon All-88 and All-44 where excellent chargers, if a little bit involved when it came to their user interface. Now Gyrfalcon/Enova seems to have made a simplified 3,7V LiIon/NiMh 4 slot charger with both 12V and 5V USB inputs. If it charges as well as the All-44 it would be an interesting device.

I am working on it, I got it from Enova some time ago.

Thanks :slight_smile:

This one looks interesting as an on the go charger.

Looks like the same as one tested some time ago (or it could be a clone or variant of it).

Cool, thanks for the link :+1:

The new Panasonic BQ-CC65 looks interesting:

It looks interesting, I have put in on the list

Is it actually sold anywhere yet?

What’s the general consensus for best small charger+powerbank combo for travel?
a) For li-ion + ni-mh (18650+AA or AAA ni-mh)
b) for li-ion only (18650)

Well, how do you define “best”?
What exactly are your requirements?

And why don’t use the right thread for this topic? There are already similar questions and answers:

Sorry angerdan, agree it doesn’t belong here. Just looking for the most versatile/lightweight travel charger.

I’d like to add another vote for the NiteCore F2 to review! The F1 seems to have done OK, but would love to see how well the F2 acts as a powerbank.

Another vote for the Nitecore F2 HKJ! Would love to see this one reviewed soon - especially to see if it holds up as a powerbank at 2A.

Another portable charger request please:

(2 x 18650 portable charger and power bank for around $9 on sale)

I have ordered one.

Did you get the 8xAA/AAA Sofirn charger?
They’re dirt cheap for their 11/11 sale, under $7.

I wonder if they’re any good.
Particularly would they be safe to leave trickle charging, to have some fully charged cells when the earthquake kills our power.

(individual indicator LED for each of the 8 slots, doesn’t say for sure if it will charge odd number of cells)

Here’s another 8xAA/AAA charger (4 indicators for 8 slots, says it only charges pairs of cells):

I did get it, but I have not had time to look at it.
