Few things seem to be missing which would make it a perfect charger:
1) 4.35V and 3.7V charging voltage
2) 0.25A current for small cells
3) 2S battery packs (as HKJ said below)
On the other hand, it seems to get everything else right, and even has probes to measure voltage, which should be very convenient (no need to constantly keep multi meter around).
I do expect I will get a sample, but it will probably be some time. With Xtar the first batch usual goes to dealers and review copies are first from the second batch.
With this charger I will need a lot of time to test it, but from the specifications I am missing 2S battery packs, i.e. the packs that is usual used for bicycle lights.
Looks sick and has a cool name. Wonder what that icon is in the upper right.i almost want to pretend its an alarm symbol and an alarm goes off when charging is done.
I hope that value on the top middle is for cell voltage not charge voltage, but having to check each cell individually is not nice. it also seems to read internal resistance.
Where did you guys get this idea that it doesn't read voltage?
From product page:
LCD screen displays all information you want
Charging current
Battery & Battery Pack Status
Battery capacity percentage
Battery types and channels Battery voltage
Battery resistance
CHARGE/TEST/REFRESH status
3S Pack/USB status
And even this:
With a pair of probes, DRAGON can precisely measure the voltage and internal resistance of your battery as a multi meter.
After the charge has finished, while the end voltage is displayed in one field, you would like the charger to continuously measure current voltage and display it in another field? Continuously draining the cell after the charge has finished? I wouldn’t want that.
