That’s another reason I chose this charger was for the service after the sale. I have read about some not so good stories about this charger as well. Just like anything else I guess. There’s always gonna be some that aren’t 100%.
Nah, not interested in expulsion, just rather you get it right the first time, so we don’t have to wait another 6 months after sending you back to the drawing board
BTW, I do appreciate why you’re unable to provide specifics such as the technology you plan to integrate features, was more a desire to see what features you’re contemplating thus far and are you open to suggestions from us prospective users
I like my Maha C9000, its been a reliable performer for years now. And I prefer to balance charge the Li-Ions I use in bigger lights with an RC charger. But I wanted something decent for single cells.
Now, I don’t trust promises about products that don’t exist yet, especially when the proponent is slamming competing products and suggesting I don’t buy them. Also, many promised products never happen - just look at Apple.
So I ordered an Xtar VP1, mostly because of the favourable review HKJ gave it. And I also really liked the choice of .25, .5 and 1.0A charge rates.
@photon1k Getting a bit off topic but I plan on also getting a SkyRC or something like it, 1-2 VP1 and 1-2 Nitecore i4. A hobby charger would be nice but they look like they would take a bit more work than I have time for atm.
Based on reviews the VP1 seems like a nice charger. The Nitecore didn’t review as well (see the review), but the v2 edition did show some improvement.
Hobby chargers are a trade-off. You give up a little ease of use for a lot of flexibility and power. If you don’t have multi-cell lights, or you don’t want to balance or parallel charge them their cells, then you may be happier with just a couple VP1s.
That (temporary?) 20% drop may be tied to XTAR “7th anniversary celebration ” rebate across their whole products range (save batteries)…good only till 31-AUG-2013…hurry up…
