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
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.

Keeppower L2 smart. I ordered it but not sure how good it is. https://www.gearbest.com/chargers/pp_286342.html
I checked that charger long time ago: Review of Charger Keeppower L2

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.
i’ve just bought it, to me it serves very well, but i wonder how good it is
I do not review battery pack chargers, at least not at the current time.
I recently received an Allmaybe TC2 (aka XTAR ET1), but am still curious as to how it would perform under the rigors of an HKJ test.
As I noted in the other post, for some odd reason, XTAR doesn’t market an English version of this charger; they only do so under their lesser-known (unknown?) Allmaybe brand.
So it’s only available directly from their Aliexpress or eBay US. stores.
I can try to help persuade them to send a review unit, as I only discovered this model after contacting XTAR directly inquiring about the English version that I didn’t know existed at the time.
I am, of course, interested in reviewing that charger. Your post is the first I have heard about it.
Xtar has been nice about sending their new chargers to me for some time, but I have not been contacted about that model. You are welcome to ask them about sending me a copy for test.
I’d love to get this Xtar PB2 power bank reviewed as soon as it’s available (or if you can get it sooner):
