Generally I do not mind buying cheap stuff (That is below $30) or something I am very interested in. But I do not buy very many expensive (Usual defined as above $100) items for test
US is problematic because shipping is often rather expensive and then I also have to pay a high custom fee (around $30).

The Ansmann Energy is eleven years old (from 2005), does cost $140 and delivers just 300mA/700mA (AAA / AA).
The newer Energy 16 plus (1001-0004) do deliver a little more current.
ansmann.de/en/products/chargers-power-supplies/battery-chargers/energy-16-plus
The Tenergy TN438 only delivers a charge current of 250mA/500mA (AAA / AA).
There are much faster solutions, like the Maha/PowerEx MH-C801D.

Hello HKJ,
GearBest is showing this model although it won’t ship until after 15 March 2016.
Opus BT-100
It does look tempting.
This Opus appeared at GearBest right after I received my LiitoKala lii-100 !

It looks interesting, but with a March shipping date it will be some time before I can review it.

Even if they ship a few days earlier it will still be nearly 3 months before I can publish a review.
My estimate goes like this: before shipping: 6 weeks, shipping time: 3 weeks, test/review time: 3 weeks.
And this assumes I have no other chargers in queue when I receive it.

I would like to request a review of the Ikea VINNINGE 2 slot USB powered NiMH charger: Produkter - søg efter produkter. Få et komplet overblik her - IKEA
It’s only 2.49 euro / 19 DKK. It’s a slow charger, 0.22A for AA and 0.11A for AAA. According to the manual, it terminates charging using -dV detection per cell. So I wonder how well that works at such a low charge rate.

I will look for it next time I am near an Ikea.

Dear HKJ,
Do you have any plans to review Xtar SV2?

Yes and fairly soon.
I was also donated some Ikea chargers, but I will probably first look at them after SV2

Nitecore F1 is out!
Looks like a nice contender to the Xtar MC1+ with 1A charging, voltage indicator, 1A USB output and high compatibility with solar panels using independent input/output circuity, this means you can simultaneously charge both your device and battery, something most powerbanks can’t do.
But what really sealed the deal for me is the 90% output efficiency… Had to order one from Gearbest.

What about the popular powerbank/charger from Tomo, i wonder about the quality and charging capabilities of those devices.

Also the Klarus K1 is offered at gearbest and i couldnt find a review.

The F1 is on the test bench.
I need to get some of the power banks I already have done first.
I expect to get it soon.

Nothing, but it looks interesting.
Hi HKJ,
Banggood’s brand Astrolux now has a charger, the Astrolux C2 . Can you determine if this is a rebrand of another brand charger? Otherwise, can you do a review on it?

It looks very much a LiitoKala: http://www.gearbest.com/chargers/pp_424662.html
I expect to get the LiitoKala in the near future.

“OnTheRoad” UC3 charger shipped bundled with several new flashlights.
Reported (and I confirmed on mine) charges to 4.28v consistently.
Well, I can’t read Chinese, but looking at the pictures, it looks like
[image]
they claim a top voltage on the charger of 4.24, rather less than the 4.28 we’re seeing.
I don’t know what the “100%” logo is supposed to tell.
I’ll add it to HKJ’s request list for chargers to test

Yes and Xtar has asked me if I want to review it when it is released
