Liitokala Li-100 doesn't work with NiMH

Hi,

I have a liitokala li-100 that charges 18650 and 14500 batteries just fine.

When I pop in a new Fujitsu AAA NiMH battery though, the li-100 never lights up. Tried clicking the button/etc.

Multimeter reads 1.32v on it.

Any ideas?

Send it back. Mine works fine.

Send a $3 charger back to China? LOL!

Okay, don’t use it on NiMh. Unless they are going to send you a new one without shipping that one back.

If you are handy at trouble shooting circuits you could probably fix the $3 charger.

Your Lii-100 is fine. That is what happens when you put in a battery with a voltage above 1.3 volts.

Odd. When does it show 100% then?

Both of my Lii-100 chargers will proceed to charge a 1.35V NiMH cell just fine.

Does it charge an AA NiMH correctly?

Is it the length of the AAA cell that’s an issue?
