Liitokala Lii - 500?

[aL1]

I got an Opus BT - C3100 V2.2 from GearBest last year and it developed a defective left bay-

GearBest Support said it's covered under their 1-year warranty, and has offered me #2 options-

#1 Send it back to them for a discounted $16.00 Shipping Fee and get sent back a replacement, or:

#2 Get a 50% refund ($17.00) put in my GearBest Wallet and $17.00 worth of equivalent points to spend at GearBest, and keep the OPUS-

Keep in mind I already have an older version XTAR WP2ll, XTAR SP2, OPUS BT-C3100 2.2 (N/G extreme left bay) and an XTAR VC4-

I like to analyse mAh capacity for batteries and was thinking of option #2 and getting the Liitokala Lii - 500 LCD Battery Charger-

All comments, suggestions and criticisms are all welcome-

Thanks!

Hi.
Do you know please,if this charger can charge all four batteries in its 4 slots,simultaneously at 1A each?
I ask because my XTAR VC4,can’t charge all four at 1A,but only two.If I put more than two,the current drops to 0.5A.

I am fortunate and have 8 different chargers I collected over the last four years. My first choice was two XTAR VP2’s which are still in use.

Batteries and chargers are an integral part of flashlights; I have studied the technology of batteries and the way they are maintained with as much interest as any new flashlight.

Did you order the Lii-500? How do you like it? I have an Nitecore D2 which works fine for charging, but I also want to measure the true capacity of my various batteries, purchased and pulled. So I ordered a Lii-500 yesterday. I bought it from Fast Tech. I had something else I wanted to buy from them so even though it was a couple of dollars more than from others I put in the order. Now I’m wearing down a variety of batteries so I can discharge and charge and measure the capacity.

Hope it works as well for you as it has for me. A few important things to temember:

1) + toward display (down)
2) 26650s only fit in slots 1 and 4
3) it can be a bit tricky removing 18650 cells

I have a vc4 and lii-500 and prefer the lii.

I also have the VC4 but I want more 1A slots.
Thank you for the hints.

temember? I thought I wrote ‘remember’. Aargh… I HATE typos!

Is there a copy/fake of this lii 500 chargers ?

I found one with price of 13$ only.

Perhaps that one comes without power supply. Some sellers do that. Read the fine print carefully.

I use this trick to remove the 18650s.I turn the charger upside down,and press the moving metals next to the negative pole ,down.Voila,you have the battery down on your table.
Edit.
Because I saw that the charger got hot,during the discharging -charging cycle of the fast test,I put a 12cm/220V fan below the charger,and there was not any high temperature.

Where is this deal?

[Theodore41]

@Aggressor

Where is this deal?

It is in Greece,but I now found one shop in Slovakia as well.SUNON in stock | SOS electronic .
Edit.
You have to know,that there is not a cable ready for this fan,so you have to buy one and fix it.

I ask seller is charger original and genuine Liito Kala not some copy/replica of it, and he confirmed that is original, so I order one for 13$, and we will see when it arrive.
