Thanks again for your time and effort, very much appreciated.

Is it possible, that the lable on the backside is wrong?
In the second line of “Output:” it says “DC 4.65V 500mA/1000mA”. Shouldn’t it be 3.65V for Li-Fe?

That label is wrong, 3.65V is more correct.

Thank you very much for thi review, now I will buy one of this, finally
Just a silly question (please don’t hate me) : are you plain to do a tear down to see if LitoKala 100 and Skilhunt M1 have the same part inside?
Probably they are not different, so why the Skilhunt charger cost double?

HKJ · February 11, 2016, 8:58pm

I seldom tear down chargers.

Probably due to different business strategies, one dealer sells as cheap as possible, the other dealer tries to maintain some quality.
I do not always go for the cheapest deal, I know it cost money to write a manual and assure that you products have a certain quality.

HKJ:

Thanks for getting around so quickly to review this charger.

I was surprised that it works so well as a 1A power bank.

I’m glad I picked up a couple when they were on sale earlier. smile

Thanx again, well done :aOK:

I have the tendency of leaving cells fully charged and store them for later use. I wonder if the .05V higher termination could lead to quicker deterioration?

I have two of those chargers and when I measure the voltage right after charging I get 4.19 or 4.20 Volts. Can’t confirm the high voltage.

I ordered mine on the 29th of January and I showed up today! Wow that is fast! I love it, wish I had ordered a couple of them.

You have to measure just before it stops charging.

I bought the charger and happy to see the review.
Thanks!

Thanks for one more great review HKJ.

Thanks for the review HKJ.
What happens to the lights when a battery is fully charged?

chadvone · February 17, 2016, 5:54am

lights stop blinking

southland · February 17, 2016, 6:30am

That’s what I thought, thanks.

Just checked 4 chargers, measured within 30 minutes of charge termination, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22. Very satisfied with these chargers and they all worked.

keltex78 · February 17, 2016, 1:08pm

The lights stop blinking with all Blue indicators solid, then eventually all lights go out… What does this indicate?

lagman · February 21, 2016, 8:15pm

I checked and there is no current going to the battery when the blue lights are solid. I don’t know why they turn off after some time.

I have some issues with flat top cells. Some of them don’t make a good contact. That’s the only downside I found so far. Well the second one is that you can’t give this charger to anybody because there is a risk that they will press the button and charge to 4,35v a standard battery… I wonder if there is a risk of fire in that case…
