There might be a coupon availiable to lower the price

Is this the best charger overall or does it has best price/performance ratio?

Test:

I found this code:

Price: 22.29 USD
Coupon code: NDIQ

but the price with this code is almost the same (0,44 usd difference).

Do you know any other code - for lower price?

Thank you

I’ve seen it some where for $16 without the power supply—The Liitokala Lii - 500 is a great charger—just remember the batteries go in upside down -for some reason makes it harder to load them—when you put 4 cells to charge—it’s very hard to get them out—I put a ribbon underneath them—not my favorite

I need power supply.

I will wait for a little big longer, in case someone can find better price.
If not, I will buy it in next days for around 22 usd.

Thank you

I use a ribbon below the batteries, like it is in some devices that have one fixed in the battery bay

i have a question
is the Slider of these charger good, i bought a soshine 2 slot charger, at first the slider is good, but after a year, those slider is not smooth as it used to be

8

I have had 2 x Lii-500”s for about a year now & in that time they have had quite a bit of use as they are my favourite chargers (so much so that a few days ago I took advantage of the deal on AliExpress of another Lii-500 for $14 without a power supply, as a spare).
I have not had any problem with the sliders on my 2 chargers :+1:

I also have a LiitoKala Lii-500. I have had it for about 8 months and I wish it had an hour meter on it so I could know how much it has actually been used…… cause it has been used a lot!!! :wink:

I have never experienced a problem so far and the sliders work just fine for me…. :wink:

I don’t see how you could go wrong with a Lii-500 for the money. :+1:

Opus BT C-3100 v2.2 is a good one also, just costs a bit more. :wink:

10

Thank you

I will buy today Lii 500 :smiley:

11

Lii-500 is a very good entry level charger/analyzer.

If you want absolute accuracy and perfect charging algorithms, go with SkyRC MC3000.

I replaced all of my chargers (maha c900, 2x SP1, SP2, Opus 2.2) with a single MC3000, the only normal charger left is the Xtar VP2, because nothing beats the good ol VP2.

12

Is MC3000 much better than Lii 500?

I checked the price and it costs 89 usd, this is a lot more expensive.

Thank you

13

MC3000 is the best. No other device can cope with it, unless you go for a RC hobby charger (which is basically the same but without the confort of 4 independent charge bays). :wink:

14

Thank you

But I will buy Lii 500 because it is 4 times cheaper than MC3000.
Too big difference.

Kind regards

I’m waiting for a good coupon too. I think I’ve seen better prices on this.

16

True…. :+1:
If one can figure out how to use it. :open_mouth: :weary: … I’m still working on that part……… :person_facepalming:
:slight_smile:

:+1:

Have you contacted M4D M4X ??
I think he has pretty decent Coupon for the Lii-500. :+1:

17

Yes, $22. Have you ever seen it cheaper?

18

Not sure if I have or not. I paid more for mine than that when I got it. If you want one that seems like a fair price, go for. :+1:
If you need one, no use waiting around for what might be months; just to get it a dollar or two cheaper…. maybe, if your lucky. :wink:

19

Good point. How do you like it?

20

I like mine just fine. It is simple to use and to me is a good value for the cost. For the price you can’t go wrong IMO. :+1:

I have had mine about 8 months and it has been used for a massive amount of hours, no problems so far. :wink:
