Is there a July 2020 upgraded version of the Vapcell S4+ charger?
EDIT: Linjuan Lau posted an update in Nealsgadgets FB group. I received some screenshots in Chinese and English via AE. Confirmed that a new version is available on AE and ordered. I’ve tried rewriting the English translation below.
#1
OLD: The display turns off automatically after 8 seconds.
NEW: The display is always on. Press DISPLAY for 5 seconds to turn the display off.
#2
OLD: Press CURRENT for 5 seconds while charging in manual mode. Current will refresh and display. But the displayed current doesn’t change automatically in manual mode.
NEW: This feature has been removed in manual charging mode.???
#3
OLD: When a battery is fully charged, the Current “0mA” and Battery Capacity is displayed in turn.
NEW: Current “0mA” is no longer shown. Instead, the Battery Capacity “mAh” is clearly shown when fully charged.
#4
OLD: While using a CC/CV charging mode for Lithium batteries, the cut off current is 100mA for all supported cell sizes. This is a bit too high for small cells like 10440, 16340, 14500 etc.
NEW: The cut off current is now 50mA when using a charging current of 250mA or 500mA.
#5
OLD: When using Cap Test mode, NiMH batteries are only charged to 50% after discharge.
NEW: NiMH batteries are now fully charged to 100% after discharge when using Cap Test mode.
#6
Needs clarification?
OLD: A charging current from 250mA to 3A may be selected.
NEW: To improve safety and battery cycle life, the charger selects an appropriate current to use and let’s you choose two slightly higher values. For example, insert a cell, it defaults to 500mA. You can then select 500mA, 1000mA or 1500mA.
