Liitokala seems to have silently released a few new chargers, to complement the Lii-S1 (any polarity), which are:
1) Lii-S2 charger (dual-slot version of the Lii-S1, now supports 2A charging for one slot; any polarity insertion)

2) Lii-PD4 charger only (4-slot, with digital display)

@nquinn , I am currently using this charger.
I have the QC 3.0 24W+12W USB-A 36W iClever charger.
Other than getting hot at full power, it does exceed its specifications by a bit.

I’ve been looking for the lightest weight travel charger that (a) is high current so it can charge my phone+power bank at the same time and (b) is lightweight since I am an ultralight hiker.
This one looks to be only 2.5oz and would love for you to test it:
iClever BoostCube 4.8A/24W ]
It does weight about 70g.
HKJ did test USB power supplies with less than 60g.

This is a power supply, not a charger, but if you can, i want to know about how safe and good it is
this PS would be very convenient for small project
A $1 power supply, I have ordered on.

I do generally not like AA based power banks. 4xAA is about the same energy as one 18650 cell.

HKJ will do you a roundup of chargers for 2018? Or do you think this page is good enough: https://lygte-info.dk/info/roundCellChargerIndex%20UK.html ?
thanks for all the hard work!!

I have never done a roundup of chargers, in late December I do a status where I list some noteworthy products from my testing during the year.

That's what I probably meant.. I thought you sometimes showed a list of recommended chargers...

Nitecore UMS4
UMS4 is a QC input available intelligent USB four-slot superb charger with a total max output of 4,000 mA and a single slot max output of 3,000 mA.
With LCD display for real-time charging information, it is equipped with a USB charging port for outdoor charging
UMS4
That looks a bit similar to the Nitecore SC4 (SC for “Superb Charger”), except it uses USB Quick Charge voltage to power that charger.
If it’s sort of a modification from the SC4 to adapt for USB QC input voltage, hopefully it won’t have the bugs/”features/annoyances” that are present in the SC4 (the SC4 time-sharing of charging certain slots seems to be also present in other Nitecore chargers; but also in some SC4, the capacity charged display can display grossly incorrect charged capacity results, as mentioned by several user reports when the SC4 is charging all 4 slots, maybe related to the “charging time-sharing”?)
