Ok, heres quick re-post from Kreislers deal thread regarding first impressions and performance of this charger:
+no problems with rails sticking or eating into plastic, they are smooth
+thus, no problems inserting/removing batteries without too much of worries to destroy the whole charging setup while during so
+like the bright led lights
+charged my fake Eneloops and Turnigy LSD’s just fine, didnt test their voltages with DMM tho
+/-charged my AA’s, be it fake Enepoops from DinoDirect or Turnigy from HobbyKing, they came very hot off charger, is this normal?
Voltages ranged from 1.44 to 1.48v when fully charged and pulled right out of the charger.
Dont remember original Eneloops being so hot, will re-run test charging on them.
+/- it has some rubber smell to it, not as terrible as plastic smell on my MAHA C9000 tho, but still its there, hope it will wear off with time
-the power cord doesnt seem to be too reliable and sturdy, frequent use of plugging it in and out of the charger and also bending it and wrapping it, might cause premature failure of said cable
-plastic feels cheap on the front panel where the LED’s are located, its thin and bents with not much force applied, it might be less prone to cracks tho, but it flexes easily
Overall nice charger given that it comes from reputable company.
I hope Sysmax releases something like upgraded i4 version with discharge/cycling/capacity testing function AND LiFePo support, all in one compact package.
See one of my previous posts about DD having similar charger to i4 but with LiFePo support.
I wonder how much would it add to production cost/reliability to add LCD and disch/cycle/capacity test features?
That would be best charer out there if sold under 40$ IMO for the money.
Except for the warranty, it could put C9000 to a shame and have it run for its money !
keeps on dreaming
