…it has now been put on 26650 duty, which it appears to be handling very well in charging batteries the other chargers (that for some strange reason) wouldn’t charge.
I received mine on Friday. It will also charge D sized nimh batteries in either of the two center slots. All you need is a spacer on the positive end, I used a nickel.
Do the springs on yours work ok? Mine seem to get caught up. Which makes putting batteries on the charger a 2 handed operation. At times it can be quite frustrating. Besides that I love it.
Grrr…I get really angry when people talk about this charger. Reminds me of the DD scam/failed shipment. If you cant honor a price/free shipment, dont make people wait endlessly and pointlessly.
I know this is BS because nimhs all charge to a different voltage depending on their use. So this has officially proven that Kreisler is making up DD shit again...
I remember that group buy and decided not to do it. I paid $5 more from HKE, I believe, and I’m sitting happy now. But don’t EVER be talked into closing a pp case until you have your merchandise in your hand! You can’t open it again. I made that mistake once with Easy(HARD!)lightbuy.com—never again!
I knew this would happen as soon as I posted. My i4 just arrived in the mail today! Just for stats, ordered and paid for through Paypal on 10/9/12, shipped status 10/13/12 and received today 11/06/12, a few days shy of a month. I read this is about the norm with other vendors from China, about 3-4 weeks. Happy camper now. Off to charge those cells I purchased from Kumabear.
Luv my i4 but 26650's take a long time. Wonder if I'm doin it right. Is there better 2 slots to use? Think I've used 1 and 3 or 2 and 4.
PS: The i4 sure got me thru Sandy - charged at work, light all night and morn! The HD2010 was great - tailstanding w/26650 on med or lo - lights up a whole room!
