That means if it works we can set it up to charge to 4.25v for max performance on good quality high drain cells for max amp and lose some cycles, or 4.15v or lower and gain some cycles.

It can do that? Hmm, gorgeous, but dont be sorry, it would last for only 20 seconds For racing/max candelas/lumens tasks yes but cinda useless rl feature

Well, it would be under 90$ for Xmass i am sure, even less, its a common trade practise so dont regret much, february price would be even lower…they all want to take your money asap you know

I hope you are right and it would be crazy if we can’t get a GB on this going sooner or later.

And about the 4.25v, yeah it doesn’t last long, but it is amazing what a little extra 0.05v can give on an already maxed out light like a tiny IMR10440 DD driven light or the X6 triple with good already strong high drain cell. When you are used to the same old visual brightness from a fresh cell……then BANG a whole other level above that :bigsmile:

Especially from these very limited cells like the IMR10440 seems to up the initial amp max a lot. And we have’t seen a improved version for years now, so when you already have optimized everything else, led, heat path, wires, springs, drivers then there are only the cell left to take to the edge

And charge it to 4.25v will do that

Thanks for the heads up about HKE having them. Just placed an order with them.

@M4D M4X

available also from hkequipment if you prefer a non-china based shop…
(link is in my deals thread…)

my info is the price will be raised to 119.95 after that offer.

That means that I can buy four Liitokala Lii - 500 for the price of one of these or five after the price goes up? Too bad my Rolex doesn’t have Bluetooth so I can control my charger with it.

Now, gearbest’s price is $ 89.95, with a free SK68 zoomable

[kuoh]

They may have over estimated the appeal of this charger and were way too late to the market. There are just too many options at the $25-$35 price point now and the few added features don’t quite support the premium asking price. With all the other chargers I already have, this might be a neat toy to have around if it drops to $50, but I’m not spending $90 for bluetooth.

[itsonlyme]

Any word on whether HKJ is getting a review sample?

[Mitko]

Well…the bluethooth option is kinda good especialy if you can control the charger remotely….but the price will drop by Xmass time i think, Opus + clones are too good and only 31$

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1699/10004469/1355500-flex-asgard-950-lumen-programmable-smart-led

Those of us here at the time remember all the fuss over a flashlight that could be wirelessly controlled by Bluetooth with tons of parameters.
That went over real well now didn’t it?
Lot’s of discussion and not a lot of sales.
Got old quick and then withered away. Once you pick out the settings you want, you never need to get all geeky on it on a daily basis.

Same, deal, lot’s of hype on this new “Dreamcharger” (Khrysler) ( Not on this forum mind you)
It will sell at $50 but not $80+
Even at $50, sales will flame out after the first adopter’s get theirs.
Your voltage may vary

And Yes I know Khrysler is not the correct spelling, that is by design.
Later,
Keith

Liitokala lii500 will cost $21.00 on 11.11 sale. How many of those can I buy for one of these?

The idea behind that light was awesome. It had armytek and Zebralight moonlight modes. Unfortunately it would lose the programming every so often… And since it was android and Windows I didn’t have anything to program it on. I swapped the driver out for a lesser one… Wish they would have supported it further.

A lot, but buying 4 of them will still not have these capabilities below, and you are essentially having 4 hobby chargers with built-in cradles...

87 pre-orders as of now for all plug types, btw.

I think I will wait next christmas and buy one for 30$

[tatasal]

@Sirius9

I think I will wait next christmas and buy one for 30$

Haha…if it will be that much by that time the Liitokala will only be a dollar each!

[cloggy]

I agree with most of the comments, its way too pricey and is sure to get cheaper. I’ll wait for the first flash sale and maybe buy then.

[koyotee]

I’ve got a xtar wp6 ii, xtar vp2, opus 3100 and a powerex maha c9000, i really don’t need another charger

In that case I will buy 30 Liitokala chargers, keep 1 sale 29 and then buy MC3000

Me too! I used to say that to myself too, about my light(s), my charger(s), my cells…but…oh my, it’s a disease

Surprisingly 102 pre-orders so far

[tatasal]

134 pre-orders so far at GB

The PC connectivity of the MC3000 is capable of showing a graphical, real-time representation of the 4 slots simultaneously. (graph re-posted from:

I am going to stick with my opus charger (I think its v 2.1 or 2.0) until this one gets cheaper
