JETBeam Intellicharge i4 - Ni-MH & Li-ion

[quote=SashiX]

but again, we need a preview or something

Definitely

Agreed. The sooner the better! :D

I went to CPF to see what's the word on this charger there, but I see they don't even have new pics, nor links where to buy this product. So I guess BLF it's a bit ahead of CPF.

But still, I've seen something good. HKJ bought the charger. So he should receive it pretty fast since DK and DE are neighbors.

It 'about a year I bought two of these: http://neolux.pl/index.php?products=product&prod_id=95
It works fine but charging the lithium batteries to 4.14

Have used them myself and they are pretty nice for money (feels cheap and a bit dangerous). Charges Ni-Mh to 1,4V and Li-Ions to 4,16. Haven't tried to leave cells into charger, so i can't comment if it really turns charging off.


Ontopic:

I'm defenetly interested of quality all-in-one charger to replace my seperate Ni-Mh and Li-ion chargers. Hopefully we are able to get it cheaper at hkequipment but even 28 euros is pretty good price if it turns out to be a good charger.

Yes, I have put in a order for it and it will probably be here in about a week, then I need to do a lot of charge curves to test it. This means that the earliest time I can have any review ready will be in two weeks, but that is probably to optimistic (I might need to do some flashlight reviews before I can do the charger test).

I.e. I will probably not be the first to review it, but I might be able to answer some questions about it in a little more than one week, when I have done the first charge curve.

Great news HKJ, when you have it please let us know about quality and if it´s possible a little review.

No prob, take your time ;) Those charging curves are very informative and useful (at least for me) :) can tell many things about charger ;) Perhaps you will not be the first one, but I'm sure you'll be the first one with those charging curves.

Wow this is sure going to be a must have.........looks robust and should last a long time, hope they did not skimp on the plastic, and the spring on the terminals just dont pop off.

Some more photos :

It looks like my future charger


Are there any pictures available showing C or 26650 batteries on it?

It states on the back label it charges them, but I am not 100% they will fit in diameter, it looks like they might collide with the side walls that sepparate the channels.

I wonder the same.

This seems a perfect charger for those who don't have a hobby charger, or don't have chargers at all.

Waiting for the reviews.

I may have to buy one. We need a review. Where is old4570 when you need him? LOL!

I'm ready to throw caution to the wind and purchase. Who do I give the my money to?

Apparently this is sold only by German shops. There are about 6-7 which sell this charger.

I'm not too down for non english shops. afraid I will miss something.

I think I will wait till prices settle down and more shops have it available, and only in case I can see it finally can charge 26650/C with room enough and not using magnets, aligator clips etc.

Probably in two weeks it will also be available in the USA. Then more people will talk about about it.

doing home work !

i will have to request a test sample ...
