I just received my Enova’s from Mountain Electronics, the power-supplies are different from the one in this review.

I just got mind today to from Mountain Electronics. I’m glad it came with this upgraded charger, which seems to be more robust than the little white one from the review. I’m loving this charger, and testing it with 4 Tenergy “D” 10,000 NiMH cells. Works great and charging them up quickly too.

Great job Mountain Electronics!

I will take a picture of the new power supply. It is more like what you would expect from a typical laptop power supply, with the switch mode adapter sitting in the middle of the separate AC and DC power cords. Testing the charger with 8 cells at once the power supply barely gets warm at all, which is a good thing.

If you click on the link I provided in the previous post I have a pic of the upgraded power-supply, I like it much better than the one posted in the review here. Yes it looks just like a laptop power-supply and doesn’t block 2 outlets while it is use and runs cool :slight_smile:

I bought the ENOVA ALL80 with the original wall plugin power supply. It blow sparks just like unplugging a running power tool every time its plugged in or unpluged from the wall outlet. The charger works great and holds 8-26650’s with just a little jiggling to get them all in. All channels appear to be independent, no current dips or drops when additional cells were added. A different power supply was needed, I hope that these new ones work. I’m stuck with the old style so I use an extension cord to protect the wall sockets.

Nice to see an 8bay version of the i4. USB output comes as a surpise bonus. I could be interested if the price was good and power supply was tested to be on par with needs.

Actually the price is good and so is the upgraded power-supply; it’s not exactly an expanded version of the i4 because ALL 8 slots are individual channels; so it is actually even better than the i4, less heat & better charger than the i4 which if you read all the reports on the i4 I think that one performs rather poorly.

sales1@enova18650.com Emailed me today to tell me that they had sent the original style power supply with my order and that production model is using a newer power supply. They will be sending me the new power supply. If they keep up this kind of service I can see myself buying more of their stuff. Honestly I’m a little surprised and a bit happy they thought enough to care after a sale.

With all 8 slots populated, it only draws 2.5A? How is it able to power 8*650ma off 2.5A?

The power supply is 12V while charging voltage is 4.2V. That’s 30W in 22W out, seems reasonable to me.

KuoH

remember it bucks down to 4.2v
you are starting from 12v

V=IR (magic )

P=UI
12V*2.5A=30W
4.2V*0.65A*8=21.84W
30W*0.73(power loss)=21.9W

But input power is 12V 3.5A
3.5A-2.5A=1A

The 1A current is used to support the USB output.

did you open yours?
