[M4D deal ACTIVE] LiitoKala Lii-500S groupbuy

/\ Amenā€¦. :+1:

Why do some people feel theyā€™re so special they have to continue to post the same thing over and over again in an unrelated thread? Like their opinion is gold and is more important than othersā€¦

Like beating a dead horse. Glad you got something that works for you and you like better, this is a group buy thread for a great charger at a great price, can we PLEASE stick to discussion of this charger???

Its like this in every thread he posts in! For someone who doesnā€™t have time to put 4 buttons they sure do have lots of time to post the same thing over and over againā€¦ Get a life man, glad your happy with the product you have and use, thatā€™s great, but lots of people are happy with other stuff and donā€™t necessarily want to hear about your choices in every thread [not] on the subject. Talk about a time waster.

Yeah, it seems the most expensive shipping pops up as the ā€˜defaultā€™ nowā€¦ it was $13.65 to Alabama. :person_facepalming:

Of course I quickly found the cheap0 optionā€¦. $1.30 just like yours Theodoreā€¦ :wink:

I guess they are hoping some people wonā€™t take the time to change itā€¦. :smiley:

Also, this time I had to add ā€œ+001ā€ in front of my phone number to ba able to place the order. That has changed since the last time I ordered something.

Either way the order is placed. :+1:

Hopefully it will ship close to the projected fulfillment date of 18 June. :wink:

I havenā€™t used to the name Theodore in years! Itā€™s Beaver dammit!

Huh, what happened here?

Why is he so angry?

And his grammarā€¦ isnā€™t good to say the least of it.

[sb56637 edit: The above refers to a screenshot that was later removed.]

Back on topic though, why did they remove the internal resistance checker? Was it inaccurate?

To put it mildly, yes. :slight_smile:

I believe there is a DIY fix for it, though. Link to fix: LiitoKala/Colaier Lii-500 inconsistent IR measurements FIXED

The issue has been corrected so out of respect for everyone else I removed the screenshot. Thank you SB

I thought youā€™d get a kick out of that my friend!! :smiley: :smiley: I watched a couple of episodes this morningā€¦. those were the days. :wink: . :+1:
Take care buddyā€¦ā€¦ :slight_smile:

You too pal. Iā€™ll call you soon my friend :slight_smile:

TYā€¦. looking forward to it. :beer:

Dang,
Hope it wasnā€™t me. Iā€™m offended that everyone is always offended about something. I bet someone owes me something for something. Now Iā€™m angry. See how this works.

Just to stay on subject so I donā€™t get my face bit off. I really use my Lii-500 a lot. I have 2 of them. With the couple of added features on the new unit, it will make this a very popular charger especially for the price.

I ordered the 500S based on the information on the Liitokala website that indicated it did include the 300mA charging current option, like the old model. I later emailed Liitokala to ask if that information was correct, when I found the instruction manual and saw it did not say the 300mA option is available in the new model. The answer from Emily indicates they eliminated the 300mA option.

I was at first upset about the incorrect information on their website, until I realized that my 16340 cells have between 650 and 750mAH capacity, and my AAA cells have a minimum of 750. A 500mA charging current will be fine for those cells, and Iā€™ll charge my 18650ā€™s at 1A. The cell manufacturers say a quality cell will remain perfectly healthy and maintain its full number of charging cycles when charged at up to 0.8C in a quality charger, and even above that rate in most cases. I donā€™t think I need to worry, given that 500mA will be below 0.8C for my smallest cells, and I donā€™t re-charge my small cells often. And this charger has very good over-heating and over-charging protection, as well.

500mA is about perfect for AAA NiMH cells.

However, for smaller lithium-ion cells(10440), itā€™s pushing it a bit.

Warning: off-topic, but still relevant to BG purchases.

Yea, Iā€™ve noticed this new ā€œbehaviorā€ just over the past week or two. Itā€™s ridiculous and probably not even profitable, since it gives customers a shock when they see the checkout price and they may simply cancel the order out of annoyance.

I added a $12 item to my cart and the default shipping charge was over $14. Do they think that such a tactic will sell more products? I felt slightly angry and highly insulted, which I wouldnā€™t consider to be an effective business strategy.

This is hopefully a programming or configuration error, but if not then itā€™s just Banggood being Banggood.

@ leftdisconnected

I know what you mean, when I first saw that I thoughtā€¦ ā€œdo they really think ā€˜weā€™ are that stupidā€? :smiley:

I think theyā€™re hoping we wouldnā€™t notice.

The flip side is they probably have just as many newbies who order and expect their item in 2-3 days. In those cases defaulting to faster shipping would reduce a lot of customer service issues.

What voltage for lion does this charger terminate?
I hope under 4.2
I ruined my opus I need a new charger

My old one does. About 4.18V - 4.2V, depending on battery.

Just curiousā€¦ how did you ā€œruin your opusā€??

Perfect,
Inserted a cell backwards. It fried it.
