13
Integrated Graphical Interface: Bundled with a cross-platform PC interface (TC) for Windows, Linux, and macOS, supporting program setup and execution of custom test sequences via scripting.
Curious what battery sizes fit, and whether power delivery is through usb-c.
Its main body can charge 700 botton top battery with protective plate, and can charge 4 x 26* batteries at the same time.
The current offering consists of a traditional desktop power supply. In the future, we will introduce a PD usb-c for users to choose from.
I would love to see a thorough review of this. I’m particularly interested in seeing how it stacks up against the other flagship 4-slot analyzing chargers (including the king MC3000)
MC3000 is a very very good charger, and Gyrfalcon S8000 is equally good.
The review has started. HKJ is now taking a break. If there are other professional and objective reviewers, please recommend them to us.
SammysHP and TimMc recently reviewed the XTAR VC8S. They might be worth contacting.
I don’t have the equipment for technical testing, so can only test usability.
Enova Gyrfalcon S8000 has two UI mode, NORMAL and PROFESSIONAL.
The normal mode is designed to reduce the number of user buttons and reduce the complexity of operations.
In normal mode, the 0-9 program set in professional mode can be called through shortcut operations, or the default program can be directly enabled. In addition, if the user needs to set up a temporary program separately, the setting menu is clear and the operation logic is not complicated. For example, charging only requires three steps (battery type, charge rate, end voltage), and cycle only requires five steps (battery type, charge rate, discharge rate, cycle mode, cycle counts).
i see “USB data cable” included in the package, can you elaborate if the protocol allows us to query or control the device (and is the protocol documented)
can the firmware be updated, and if so, what platforms
1，The user manual will be published on our website later.

2，Yes，the usb data port can send and receive data, but we currently do not provide the corresponding software. We have plans to adapt to HKJ’s logging and control software in the near future.
can the firmware be updated, and if so, what platforms
3，Upgrading firmware does not require specialized software, only a serial assistant and xshell (Or similar software that supports Ymodem) are needed to complete the upgrade.
Currently, chargers are suitable for Ni-Mh, Ni-Cd, LifePo4, Liion4.20, Liion4.30, Liion4.35 batteries.
For other types of batteries, as long as the charging voltage does not exceed 5V, the firmware can be upgraded, and corresponding charging algorithms can be added in the future to complete the adaptation.
And fanless?
There are two small fans used during discharge, and their speed is adjusted based on the total discharge power.
Hmm…
I wonder how the S8000 stacks up next to the Vapcell S4 Plus.
4 x 2A is not bad.
Although the S4 Plus can do 4 x 3A, you have to press a lot of buttons to do that, so I usually charge at 4 x 2A (or whatever the S4 Plus chooses to charge at.)
