€ 43.85 = $60.49 So their group buy price of 40 units is the same as a single Aliexpress unit shipped to usa. I wonder what we could get the price down to? Maybe just waiting a month or two will lower the price of them a lot.
Ouch $60 with only 2x26650, no 32650, max of 2A with spikes too, so $120 to charge big multi cell lights at once?? Bye bye to the “dreamcharger”, its turning into a nightmare.
I’m not sure I’d call it a nightmare. I paid about $35 for a Lacrosse BC700 that only does AA and AAA that I love. This is the same thing, but it will also do my 18650 and 14500 cells. It would save me from buying a hobby charger, and then rigging it to do discharges and other things. I wish it was more like $40-$50 but I will end up with one eventually. I will wait a bit though and see how the price changes. I think our uses for it are different. I have nothing larger than an 18650. I want it for discharging and doing capacity testing of 18650s and such. Things that you’d normally need to buy a hobby charger for, and then hack it so it does single cells.
Yeah I’m responding to the drama with which we were promoted this “dreamcharger” for months to wait to purchase Its not horrible, but for the price I wouldn’t get it, and for my use, the use that this was promoted to solve for me, its poor. For a multi chemistry person I guess its OK. *as long as you are only charging 18650/smaller cells. But that’s not what I want it for, I have other chargers for that. This was promoted as a solution for the big multi cell lights, which it is most certainly not. 2x TR-008 is a much better option for price at $30 each, but then they have a charge dip during charging and HKJ noted some over-voltage at times…keep on dreaming for a dreamcharger I guess.
