I have no experience with that charger (first link you posted) so I have no valid opinion to offer on it. I am currently using a pair of Pila chargers for standard size Li-Ion batteries. Oddly enough, it is one of the highest rated chargers anywhere and costs less than the one shown in the second link you posted. If you are willing to spend that kind of money, the Pila is a no brainer and in my opinion, the one to choose. There are some decent, less expensive, models to pick from but I will let others with hands on experience advise you on them. Most anything that supports CC/CV (accurately) and terminates the charge at the end of the cycle will work just fine for you. Check out the charger reviews from HKJ. He has tested several that will fit the bill and costs less than the Pila.
OK, pls only relevant information.
(I have XTAR chargers, prices on second link is unreal and irrelevant, etc etc, Im interested if maybe someone has this charger, and if someone tested it. )
And I dont want Pila charger ever because, you know, saving is believeing haha
I think its totaly new product as it is present only on ebay, its not present in any webstore yet.
ChangchungLeds - $54.65 for one charger??? Come on…
Exactly what I was thinking. That’s a lot of money for a single bay, no name charger. Did you see the specs on it? Check out the input voltage and then look at the power cord. Funny.
$3.77 with free shipping for the one he is looking at? Seems legit.
Perfect for a disaster, the charger state 1amp output, I think that it is to much for a charger where you will charge differents mah batteries. The description say 500ma… I dont know… I will choice another one, not just for the price, because everything…
Just going by it’s claimed 650mA it’s not ideal for all the cells it claims to charge. It’s around a 2C charging rate on a 10440. That’s got safety implications. Of course that implies that the 650 mA rating has any basis in reality.
I just checked with my Multimeter., It seems that they indeed have same internals (all of these chargers), and it seems their max charging current is constant 330mA. (no matter what writtes on them, and thats usually 0,5A or 1A, only small wall chagers hav ecorrect specs on them, 330mA
And it gets lower as soon as battery gets charged.
