Ok, thank you. Then I think I’m going to order it. It seems to be the most interesting for NimH and Li-ion batteries if I except the “big” SkyRC MC 3000 .
I have a SkyRC MC 3000… but to be honest I am about to “dumb” to use it effectively. It is a great machine from what I read, but it has way to many “bells & whistles” for me… and I have not figured most of them out as of yet. :person_facepalming:
Yes, it’s very good and interesting but I prefer to have a simpler charger. It’s a long time I wanted to buy the Lii - 500 but I was afraid by HKJ conclusion : ” but stops a bit early on NiMH”.
If you already have a suitable power supply you can get a Lii-500 as cheaply as $12 delivered at the moment.
I picked one up about 6 weeks ago for $14 delivered.
I have the Lii-500 and love it. My only issue and it is not really a problem with the charger. It is the direction you place the cells in the charger, once I got use to it no more issue. It is my go to charger.... I have 8 chargers now I think.
Its probably legit he’s talking about without a power cable. If they are bought for 14-15$ without a power cable shipped. Its probably a aliexpress discount or seller discount. My logic is, if they can be manufactured and sold at a probably 300-400% profit at $15 then $12 isn’t out of the ball park at slightly lower profit margin. If you have 1000 units and they arnt moving fast enough not making your investment and profit. Moving product makes money even at a lower price point. Like the s70s for $37 or whatever it was. Like 40 orders overnight and the price increased.
I'm not so sure clones would be a bad thing (not saying they are clones), as the both of the two units I received when they first came out were defective. Meeting the standard test for insanity, I did order 2 more during the recent AliExpress promotion for $10.99 each. They were sale priced at $12.49 and then there was and additional discount and a coupon to get me to $10.99. That sale is over now. Here is what I ordered. I'll try to remember to report back when I get them.
