I ordered one a few weeks ago, price was $4.39 then. Probably will come next month (unless this package goes detour to Africa or somewhere else).
If this is as good as it says, I don’t see anything else coming close under $10. Especially not those $3 ebay chargers - absolutely no point to play lottery with them at all anymore.
I was a bit skeptical when I saw the specs too. I went ahead and made my first order after reading all the positive feedback from the buyers.
Seriously, I do not know how they accomplished it at this price point. Both my Li-ION and Ni-MH charged fine without sign of over-charging. Li-ION terminates at 4.18V sharp for 2 different batteries. As for Ni-MH, it terminates about 1.45V (my memory is a bit faint on this one).
There bound to be design flaws if you scrutinize it. I am sure HJK will discover them sometime down the road. I am interested of how it fair with other under $10 chargers.
I am not a fussy person in charging. Sometime I am just to lazy to power up my OPUS or XTAR just to top up one 18650. That is why it is my favorite single bay at the moment.
Note: above comments are based on Nicjoy charger version.
ordered two, shipped within 48 hours. awaiting them and they really seem like a great charger. Thanks freeme for your experience with the charger, might even order another one as a gift
The only issue for me would be the size - for a 1 bay charger it seems on the larger side. (as you can see on the image above)
For the $4 I will sit and wait. Just like the Olight S15R...many cancelled their orders because they did not ship immediately. I saw that they were backordered so I sat and waited and they showed up. As long as someone is within PayPal's guidelines there is or should be no worry.
I look forward to being able to receive single chargers that are capable of doing 4.35 for the cost of only $4 even if it takes a little longer.
