Personally not a big fan of negative LCDs, they are more difficult to read. Plus that beep every time a button is pushed seems super annoying. I hope it can be turned off.

Did Banggood extend their sale? Knew I should have ordered this when it first started. Going to take forever to get this charger.

Guess we will wait till the 12th.

I wish they had not dropped the 300ma mode. I use this for 10440’s as I would hate to hit them with 500ma. Have not decided yet if I will try this one or not.

Relampago · 2019-07-09T01:38:32.000Z

Got mine! I like it. I didn’t know about the negative display but it’s not a dealbreaker. So far so good, fits the 26650s pretty good.

kuoh · 2019-07-09T01:51:41.000Z

Got mine today as well. The display is very readable even at a shallow angle when the backlight is on, but when it’s off, you can barely see anything. I wish it could leave the backlight on constantly or only go 50% rather than completely dark. I also got the cheaper LII-S4 and it’s not battery polarity sensitive, while this one is.

Banggood is not going to relinquish this sale so that the discount code will work. Was supposed to end on the 12th. guess they are selling a lot of them at $25.

xevious · 2019-07-30T16:43:59.000Z

I’m bummed I missed the discount deal… $21.99 is a nice price. Can’t find it any lower than $29.99. I’m not in a hurry so will wait. Hopefully someone will bump the topic with another good price later on.

A small resistor should fix that. I’ve seen people do it on chargers before. Place it between the backlight FET’s drain and source. When the charger commands the back light on you have full brightness, when it doesn’t you have partial brightness (depending on resistor value).

Check out the new Liitokala Lii - S6 charger too. 6 Bay charger it is. :+1:

6 bays @ 1000 mA / 3 bays @ 2000 mA

I am, but I was foiled by the brand misspelling thing… Liitokala, Liitokaala, Liiitokala, LittoKala, etc. I found the 500S on the “Littokaala” now. Thanks!

I think I might go for the 6 bay one, as I prefer tactile buttons instead of touch-sensitive ones.

The only 500S coupon I’m seeing on his website is the one that he publicly stated in the original post of this thread, and it has been dead for quite some time now.

teacher · 2019-07-31T02:15:12.000Z

Yep…. … That was why I suggested he check out the new Lii-S6.

Martin’s Lii 500S code won’t be valid until either the Sale Ends or he requests a New Code from BG.

kuoh · 2019-07-31T02:15:26.000Z

Keep in mind the 500S does discharge testing, while the S6 I presume like the S4, only charges batteries.

I have it already. I want a charger that can discharge batteries.

This one can discharge batteries.

It seems silly to add this, but I meant to say it a month ago . I found it somewhat humorous that LiitoKala released a Lii-500S charger that will discharge cells just weeks after I purchased the old Lii-500 that doesn’t. I needed that feature, spent many months searching for a cheap charger with a discharge mode, and would have paid the few dollars extra to get it.

Fast Test on the old charger is simply useless; no idea what it could be good for. Oh well . That’s how it usually goes and glad that they replaced that function with a useful one on the new version.

I’m not a fan of the new display, though it seems to be a trend with some Chinese companies lately to use reverse LCD’s. It doesn’t seem too bad in the photos, though.

Thanks to Martin for the deals.

You found an original Lii-500 that does not have a discharge test (nor test) function? That’s a first.

Hmmmm… Like Pete7874 said above, if you truly found a Lii 500 that does not have the discharge test function; it is an absolute first.

All Lii 500’s have the Discharge Test function. It is the ‘NOR’ Test.

The ‘FAST Test’ you mentioned above shows how many mA the cell accepts during charging.

The ‘NOR Test’ is more accurate showing true battery capacity.
