Review request for HKJ [Chargers]

I am not really planning on them, I would expect they have a small charger chip build in and they usually do a good fairly job.

Dear HKJ,

Are you planning to review the BQ-CC63 from Panasonic (link below)? I’m interested in this charger because I want to switch from primaries to rechargeables at a school.

Kind regards

Daniel

I do not have it in my plans, but maybe it would be a good idea to include it.

The Efest LUC 8 Double LCD Screen Fast Battery Charger

XTAR VC8:

I am working on it, but 8 slots take a lot of time.

How's the display brightness on the Xtar VC8?

The Efest LUC8 Dual Display had an issue of a very dim display with Efest saying they will fix it in the next version release.

Good, but it reduces it when you do not push the buttons or change batteries.

LiitoKala Lii-S6:

That Lii-S6 looks different to its Lii-S1 and Lii-S2 li-ion trickle charge blunder brethren; it also continues with the “any polarity” slot policy which in my opinion is superfluous. They're asking some money for an S6, hope it doesn't uses trickle charge with li-ion cells.

It's cheap for sale at JIALANG INTL Store and will be cheapest at GlobalPower Co., LT Store once the incoming whatever AliExpress sale starts in 17+ hours from now on.

Please review the Hohm Tech Base 4 charger.

I am particularly interested in its Battery Doctor feature, and how it works on NiMH cells (like AAs). Thanks…

Please review the Hohm SCHOOL 4A Charger with BLD System and IPR USB-C:
(Equipped with: BLD1 System: Battery Length Detection automates charge amplification & reduction on li-ion cells)

Where do I but it without paying an arm and a leg in shipping?
US brands can be very expensive to get in Europe.

Just buy both that model and the Hohm Tech Base 4 charger at the same time — then at least the shipping is spread across two units. :wink:

Please review the Dlyfull UT4.

Thank you

1) Xtar SC1

I was trying to find a review of the Xtar SC1 (the SC2 has been reviewed), but can’t seem to find it.

Just in case have time for a review. It’s a “li-ion only” charger that charges at only 2A, and supports 18650 size and higher (up to protected 21700). Was wondering if it’s an acceptably good charger.

2) Liitokala Lii-S6 (Li-Ion & NiMh charger)

Also checking if there’s a review of the Liitokala Lii-S6 (6-bay charger, no capacity test function). Wondering how well it is for charging Li-Ion & NiMh…

I do not expect to review the SC1, but I am testing on the Lii-S6

Just noticed a couple of new Liitokala chargers…

a) Lii-S8 (8-bay charger), specs indicate max 8x 1A or 4x 2A charging (+ 9v NiMh charging)

b) Lii-600 (4-bay analyzing charger), max 4x 3A charging, adjustable current with a low of 0.25A, and now restores resistance reading (the ‘updated’ Lii-500S didn’t have the ‘mR’ resistance reading of the earlier Lii-500 Engr [although the Lii-500 Engr’s mR reading is very inconsistent and nearly worthless; I hope they can get it right on the Lii-600] ; plus also restored the lower charge current [the Lii-500 Engr has a minimum charge current of 0.3A, but the Lii-500S only has a low of 0.5A; so it’s good to see the Lii-600 add in the low charge current of 0.25A]. The Discharge current is now ‘upgraded’ up to 0.75A discharge current, which hopefully will test larger-capacity batteries like high-capacity 21700/26650 faster…
