I have dedicated chargers for my NiMH cells and would not mix the two. Dedication is what works for me, not multi-tasking. For my photography needs, I use Maha chargers. With 2 of their 8 bay chargers those needs are met.
I am also a brand loyal kind of guy. I like my Efest cells. I rely on my Efest cells, and I will also be happy to add an Efest charger to the SoShine S1 Max V3 that I am currently using, along with the single cell Cottonpickers chargers I also use. The Cottonpickers chargers have spoiled me by showing the voltage on their display, so I very much like that feature here in the Efest. I’m not going to say that I only use one brand of anything, but when I like a brand, I like to support that brand.
Dare I say this? Here of all places? It’s NOT about the money!
I want a product that is done right, that I can depend on, and if that means paying a bit more for it, or waiting for them to get it perfected, then so be it.
I’ve had my eye on the Thrunite since it came out, but it’s dual chemistry charging has held me back. I have a horrible memory. This leads to me making mistakes. I don’t like my equipment making decisions for me, so I limit my equipment to specific tasks in order to not get confused. Sometimes a problematic restriction, but it works for me so I stick with it.
