Review request for HKJ [Chargers]

Doesn’t look like anything better than what’s already out there.

There’s a new LiitoKala single slot universal charger, called the Lii-S1, which may be a successor to the great value Lii-100:

The thing that catches my eye about it is that it has an LED display for voltage & current, not an LCD one. I like that, because I’m legally blind, and some LCDs have such low contrast or poor view angles that I find them almost impossible to read. I might order a couple after the Chinese New Year chaos is over :slight_smile:

I have ordered it

Thank you :+1:

New concept: A mix between DC power supply and USB meter in the case of an powerbank, but without battery.
4 independent channels with 3A each, 2,5-12V. And WiFi control from an app.

Any chance we see a test of this “professional” charger?

Probably not. After the one hour load test I would not be able to write anything for days :smiley:

In reality I would have to do some setup with a speed controlled motor to test it and start plotting power vs RPM. It could be fun, but it would take a lot of time and I would have to manufacturer some of the test equipment first.

Hi HKJ, would you also consider tearing down and analyzing the black box ac-dc adapters that usually come with these sort of chargers?

Usually not, I only do a high voltage test from mains to low volt side. The inside is made about the same way as usb chargers.

Aliexpress have a big sale, that means it is the right time to post review ideas for discounted stuff from them.

IKEA STORHÖGEN
Battery charger with storage
When batteries are fully charged, this battery charger switches to stand-by charging so that you can store your batteries in the charger if not using immediately.

I did that charger some time ago: Review of Charger Ikea Storhogen 603.306.50

Keeppower L2 smart. I ordered it but not sure how good it is. https://www.gearbest.com/chargers/pp_286342.html

Thank you HKJ

Thanks, i’d see why i didn’t find the IKEA Storhögen - numbers are sorted as letters. So the 12 is between the 1 & two slot chargers.

Fixed.

How about some universal chargers like these:
