LiitoKala lii-500 still a best buy?

Hey all, been a while since I’ve been in the market for such things. I’m curious if the LiitoKala is still a good option for an analyzing charger, or if better options are available now.

I’m looking for a unit that’s easy to use, with analyzing, 26650 support, and a bit more robust than my current Trustfire TR-001.

Suggestions?

I like mine but it seems, “you pays your money and you takes your chances” with any charger.

It seems the perfect low cost charger does not exist yet.

@keltex78 did you ever make a decision?.I am in market for value for money charger and Liitokala Lii – 500 seems to best buy based on inputs from here.
Also in consideration is XTAR VC4,hopefully upcoming XTAR anniversary will help me decide.

The Lii-500 is a nice device, and fixing its inconsistent internal resistance measurements is sort of doable: LiitoKala/Colaier Lii-500 inconsistent IR measurements FIXED

Remember, though, that even if you take care to properly settle the cells in the rails a bit of rail resistance is still to deal with.

Cheers ^:)
