The LiitoKala S1 can be had for 2.80 $US during the anniversary sale coming up on Aliexpress:
There is also a coupon for 1$ off on minimum 3$ purchase for 50 AE coins.
I can not guarantee this deal will work and won’t change, just giving the heads up on this thread. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong location.
That is useful to know. Thanks!
Small note said
“Add to cart now sale starts in 7 days”
Still a great deal to wait for.
yes, most/the best deals are in a week from now. careful, there are two different SKUs for this S1 charger, the other one says 2.39$ but I presume that will only be for the power supply, not the actual charger. This single SKU listing is for the charger. the price is too good to be true, tbh, but let’s see whether they will deliver on this deal.
I ordered one from Banggood for $6.99. I probably could have gotten one cheaper, but I’ve had good luck buying from them over the past couple of years. To me it’s worth the extra few dollars I spent.
What do you use for tracking?
Just bumping this back up. I have a couple in my cart, but know I’ll miss it if I’m not reminded. Thanks FPV
3 in cart, now for the wait, thanks FPV
It says the Anniversary Sale starts March 28th, but what time? Midnight in China?
I don’t know if it helps, but a new Aliexpress “business day” on my app is 9am PST. That is when new points become available (for checking in), I can water the tree again and also catch the worm so they won’t harm the tree. Coupons also become available.
Please note that the US are on DST already, RoW not yet.
Yeah, so that would be midnight Beijing time.
don’t want to spoil your party, but this price, it seems like, is not for liitokala s1 battery charger, it is obviously for some liitokala mobile phone usb charger which is 2.99$ and will be 2.80$ on action day or 2.39$ on mobile app…
That might be true and I suspect you could be right. But then they would have to add that item in the linked listing.
2.39$ for the sale price is the other listing (and this might only be the usb power supply). If the listing remains as it is, it could be a falsely priced item. Maybe they will stick to this deal, maybe they won’t. Or maybe the entire listing will disappear.
Only time can tell 
Mine shipped yesterday from Banggood
we’ll see…i am game too! numbers are good, –65% from 7.99$ is exactly 2.80$…
What makes you think that? The page clearly states it’s for the S1 charger.
The older version of this charger (Lii-100) could be had for $0.99 when on sale, so the $2.80 sale price for this newer version is still almost 3x the price of the old one.
The drawback I see is the battery bank function is gone and price went up.
wstrachan, the Lii-S1 is not replacing the Lii-100, if you prefer to have a so so powerbank function get a Lii-100.
With the Lii-S1 they've added polarity detection, this ontop of rail resistances likely rules out any chances for a powerbank function to work right. 
Cheers :-)
i don’t know, but those times of crazy deals are long gone either on aliexpress or gearbest…prices went up for most things and discounts are pathetic…but, at the end maybe price will stay at the 2.80$, we’ll see…
and what is the main selling point of this charger anyway? :money_mouth_face:
Let’s hope it at least does not overcharge cells like the Lii-100 did.
