[M4D deal ACTIVE] LiitoKala Lii-500S groupbuy

No 300mA charging current (unlike old lii-500).

I guess for some people lack of 300mAh charging current will be a major drawback. Myself the smallest cells I ever charge are AAA and 18350s so I’m probably going to get the new one.

Thanks. Just ordered.

Thanks for the deal. Ordered - this will be a nice upgrade from my Xtar VC4.

Ordered, thank you!

DOES ANYONE know the answer to this??

I was NOT able to determine this by the information provided,maybe I missed something?

Can this charger display information for ALL FOUR SLOTS at the same time like my Opus? I can deal [be more patient] w/ only 500mAh discharge,I can not deal w/ info for 1 or 2 slots at a time AND 500mAh discharge! I hope I can see all 4 slots at once , then I will get it

I only have 8 X 4 bay chargers!……….Depending on the answer above. I may justify this for a Birthday present on Tuesday June 4th. :person_facepalming:

The XTAR dragon can only do Two at a time,major reason why I did not get it.

Here's another "can't find the answer" question:

Does this have a ~3.7v storage charge function?

Strongly doubt that it has storage mode. It would then for sure be mentioned on Banggood or Aliexpr Lii shop product description.

Ordered. Thanks! :+1:

I suspected as much. Thanks.

Guess I'll keep tickling the switch on my Opus 3100.

slmjim

No.

One of my gripes with Lii-500 was too closely spaced out slots. From the pictures, it looks like this Lii-500S seems to have a bit more room, so that’s a welcome change.

I’m guessing the current display is just the selected current and not actual current, just like the old model?

Anyway, I mainly use my Lii-500 for discharge capacity tests, and this Lii-500S does not offer any improvements there, so I’ll skip it. I do like the new display though.

Thanks Pete,that is what HKJ told me to.

I have no interest in pressing buttons to see Individual read outs plus the 500mAh MAX discharge. $15 more for another Opus from my hometown dealer is well worth it to me! As usual it is ALL about “Individual” preference. :wink:

No thanks! ,Just not for me.

Death to micro-USB!

FINAL POST on this thread! :laughing: Several “may” be happy!

I know the Opus cost more which usually correlates to more features.

I DOCUMENT my capacity results for future use/tests, both on Microsoft word[written] and photos for Comparison and degradation analysis!

I could NOT do what the picture below illustrates w/ the Liitokala lii- 500S, XTAR Dragon and many others, That is,seeing information at the SAME time for ALL four slots. :+1:

I use the 300mA setting for very old NiMH AA cells. Anything faster than that, and their high internal resistance causes the charge to terminate early.

I also use it for AAA NiMH cells (though 500mA would probably do fine), and for 14500 lithum-ion (though again, 500mA is probably fine).

It’s too bad they dropped the 300mA charge setting. I like the 2000mA addition, but I’d rather have 300mA for my low-capacity cells.

Ordered, thank you!

Liitokala Lii-500S in Thai language I think…

Thanks for the video,gave me a good laugh!

I lied. ,about last post. Had to comment on the video!

Staring at 3:59 mark She could NOT get the 26650 Liitokala to make contact w/ positive tab in slot 2. So she used a rubber band which did not work either! :laughing: lol!

That has happened to me[no contact on positive end] w/ a few of my 26650 on certain chargers,Neodymium magnets solve that problem.

Couldn’t help myself.
Ordered.
