The charger is next in queue for my testing stations, this means I will probably start testing it in about a week and the test will take a week.
All the discharge curves are done for the battery, but I am missing the Ri curve and this will have to wait until I have some idle equipment .
In my opinion, the role of apple is to create half-wit products for half-wit people who seemingly at will pay (too much) for them. A great piece of their very high profit margins get invested in preserving their abusive ways (intellectual property protection, devices often problematic to repair by 3rd parties, etc.), giving their products the exact amount of extra quality for half-wit people to continue thinking they are the best. In my opinion they're very far from this goal, though, and as Lightbringer likes to say what they really deserve is to be dragged into an alley and beaten 
with sticks. Yes, I am biased. My money has no place in their pockets. Good luck to them.
@HJK
Do you have that charger in queue?
Looks good on paper
Any idea?
Thanks
No.
Hello, would you consider checking on some flashlights with built-in USB chargers, the ones that come with the socket and a little rubber cover?
Here are a couple, though a quick Ali search will find a lot more of them, mostly quite cheap:
I have an uneasy feeling about whatever dirt cheap little charging circuits are being used in such small spaces being reliable.
While I don’t see myself has a half-wit, I have bought many apple computers, I agree with most of the rest of your quote when it comes to apple today. I am a tight wad. When it came to buying macs they certainly did cost more but for my customers and myself were demonstrably significantly cheaper and more productive as deployed. Heck I’m writing this on a 7 year old laptop that still functions perfectly and preforms better than many brand new PC laptops. The first mac business systems I created competed only with mini (main-frame) System / 36 computers as the PCs of the day couldn’t come close to what I was able to do with a mac. People back then also said that they were over-priced toys for people who didn’t know better. That simply was not empirically true.
That said, Apple has completely removed computer from their name and have become the very representation of the evil big brother they set out to destroy. Shameful, immoral, and destructive company they have become.
I would like to see the MiBoxer C4 V3 reviewed as I think there have been significant changes since the review you did.
I would also like to see some discussion of “smart” chargers vs selecting a charging current. (This may exist and I just haven’t found the thread.) I am noticing a fair difference between cells in charging time and much less “charge leakage” since I have been using that charger in “smart” mode. Some of the cells charge at what I thought was a good current and others take far more or far less current. Total charge will frequently require less mAh than what I was used to as I believe the “smart” charge matches the charging profile for a particular cell and therefore reduces waste heat while charging. Shouldn’t this be a good thing? Does it really matter? Am I just seeing things wrong?
Thanks,
Wade
I am not really planning on them, I would expect they have a small charger chip build in and they usually do a good fairly job.
Dear HKJ,
Are you planning to review the BQ-CC63 from Panasonic (link below)? I’m interested in this charger because I want to switch from primaries to rechargeables at a school.
Kind regards
Daniel
I do not have it in my plans, but maybe it would be a good idea to include it.

I am working on it, but 8 slots take a lot of time.
How's the display brightness on the Xtar VC8?
The Efest LUC8 Dual Display had an issue of a very dim display with Efest saying they will fix it in the next version release.
Good, but it reduces it when you do not push the buttons or change batteries.
LiitoKala Lii-S6:
That Lii-S6 looks different to its Lii-S1 and Lii-S2 li-ion trickle charge blunder brethren; it also continues with the “any polarity” slot policy which in my opinion is superfluous. They're asking some money for an S6, hope it doesn't uses trickle charge with li-ion cells. 
It's cheap for sale at JIALANG INTL Store and will be cheapest at GlobalPower Co., LT Store once the incoming whatever AliExpress sale starts in 17+ hours from now on.
Please review the Hohm Tech Base 4 charger.

I am particularly interested in its Battery Doctor feature, and how it works on NiMH cells (like AAs). Thanks…
Please review the Hohm SCHOOL 4A Charger with BLD System and IPR USB-C:
(Equipped with: BLD1 System: Battery Length Detection automates charge amplification & reduction on li-ion cells)
