I have a hunch it will not charge NiMH batteries or anything else below a certain threshold that would indicate a healthy lithium-ion battery is installed. This would confuse many users, but would make sense unless it has a fairly sophisticated charging circuit.
I’m not jumping in yet, but I will watch this thread for more details.
I would really prefer the UI be simple (one click on, one click off, and 3 modes or a simple ramp). I like the idea and design. really like the rechargeable aspect! and also the option for Nimhd (i hope). oh, and Hi Cri is awesome too!
4 of my epoch 14500's is 4000mah (in parallel of course, im sure these will be parallel) so essentially a lantern with a 40t, thats good for me.
