For me, Iād be happy with just the basics:
All charges
NiMH only chargers
Universal chargers (NiMH+LiIon)
LiIon chargers (Any charger with support for LiIon)
Analyzers (All chemistries)
For chargers that support >70mm long cells, maybe you could color the max cell length in green in the table? That would make it stand out a little more for people looking for that.
Ozythemandias has been contacting me just as insistently
With permission, I could import the data in a few hours. Iād be willing to do it without any form of compensation either, meaning none of my affiliate links anywhere on the page. I didnāt do any of the work, after all.
HKJ, if you are curious what this could potentially be, I can throw together a private prototype just for you to look at. If you donāt like it, it will be deleted.
It is less than 200 entries, it is not much for a search database.
I have nothing against a parametric search, but for me the problem is that maintaining another index would be more work (I do add a new entry about once a week).
Not a problem, I would handle the maintenance side of things. Whenever you revise or add more entries to your index, I can insert the new data to mine.
I do not see why you are waiting, I have no problem with people republishing my date as long as they add proper references to my website.
If I like it I might also add a link on my website to it.
Great chart! Itās alot easier to find the good/bad chargers.
I have a suggestion, instead of overlapping smiling face for a 1 1/2 rating, can you do a smiling face and a half of a smiling face that donāt touch each other?
Most people do care quite a bit in my experience, thank you for being so chill about it.
Iām basically done and am putting on the finishing touches now. If I want to flesh out some details (like MSRP, official pages, and paired bays) it could take the rest of the weekend.
Iāve found a few minor typos: the Fenix ARE-X1+ has backwards battery diameters. The JetBeam i4 Pro and TrustFire TR-001 have backwards lengths. The Ikea Veinninge has ā0.02 ampsā for the āmax all slotsā current.
edit: The HG-1206W has 0.3/0.6/0.6 for the currents which is weird but I think I understand what is going on there. The BT-C100 has 1.6 for āmax allā and 2 amps for āmax singleā which seems weird for a single-bay charger. What is up with that?
It is the internet, I have no way of controlling my data. In my opinion the best way is to let people use it and ask them to credit me (with a link).
And some hours every week from no on (Prices changes).
Thanks, I have fixed it.
Errors was unavoidable when typing in data for nearly 200 chargers.
The 1206 has 0.6A, it can be delivered to a single cell or shared between two cells with 0.3A for each.
The BT-C100 is a bit problematic, probably 2A in both field are more correct, but it is only valid for NiMH.
Iāve added three requested features already. Whether or not a charger is enclosed, common cells that should fit, and how many channels a charger has. Though I was only able to find 4 that didnāt have the expected number of channels.
Next Iāll be adding MSRP information. Or maybe buying a new charger
Same thing that you mean by channels in your reviews. If a charger can only do pairs of batteries, then it has half as many channels. Hank had asked for this information to be included so I put it in.
Number of channels and doing batteries in series is not the same thing.
The Ikea 12 slot charger has two charge channels, but do not do batteries in series or change the charge current depending on number of batteries.
All chargers where the current is red do AA/AAA batteries in series.
