Anyone seen any reviews on this one?:NEW i4
I thought I just bought the “new”i4 here??:http://charger.nitecore.com/product/intellicharger-i4

Nitecore chargers do nothing for me. I’m an Xtar man. I think the VP2’s are the best LiIon chargers made, period.
The D4 with 4x1A charging would be my perfect charger
Outside slots being big enough for 32650’s with 2A charging would be even better.
If it’s got any similarities with the new i2: stay away!

Now that the older Nitecore I4 2014 version is discontinued, there are bargains while the pipeline empties. Or, as some say, ‘good value for the money.’
I bought one in August for a buddy who doesn’t want to fiddle with buttons and readouts. It was $13.88 here, now crept up to $45.55:
I wouldn’t touch the nitecore chargers. Xtar all the way.
Is there any reason you personally wouldn’t touch Nitecore chargers?
Used an i2 charger and it burnt out two 26650’s.
What brand 26650’s were they and what actually happened?
Are you sure it is genuine?
Hell, for $15 pick up the LiitoKala 500 without the power adapter and free shipping on AliExpress.
I’ve got a D4 that I’ve been using for over a year and a half now and it’s never let me down. I actually prefer it over my Opus BT-C3400.
This.
I have Nitecore i4 before and it’s not reliable, that the voltage indicator is very inaccurate (I’ve made comparison and confirmed this with my multimeter).
My 2 VP 2’s voltage readouts are very accurate according to my Fluke 289 multimeter. End of charge is never higher than 4.206 to 4.21 volts while monitoring with the Fluke in real time. My batteries settle down to 4.18 to 4.19 after about a minute or so. BTW, I have several Xtar chargers from the original WP2, MP2, 2 VP1’s (I gave those to two of my friends and replaced them with 2 VP2’s, 2 SP1’s, and I just ordered the SV2 Rocket so I can charge my 26650’s at 2 amps. The SP1 does 2 amps, but they have no dispay. I’ll probably end up selling those.
I got mine from the official liitokala store on AliExpress. At least that’s what it says on the storefront.
I have one Xtar WP2 and one VC4, and yes both of them charge very accurately. As for reliability I can yet to say anything because I just started to use them not long ago. Time will tell, but I have a feeling that Xtar is pretty good.
Btw the battery spring slider is smoother than the Nitecore i4 of mine, another positive thing for the Xtar.
I’m on your side :sunglasses:
Just got my SV2 Rocket. It’s got the smoothest sliders so far out of all my Xtars. As far as reliablility, none of my Xtar’s have given me any problems including my 5 year old WP2. I can’t say enough good things about them.
