Vapcell S4 plus v3

Same here, USB is for me only required for a mobile charger

I have some USB-chargers like Nitecore UMS2/4 and ISDT C4 EVO but I don´t buy these because of USB, I only want these chargers.

My 5 most used chargers have no USB-input, I don´t want to miss these chargers

Well, I have some USB-chargers but does it make the charger better?

Not really.

There are other criterias for me, it should do the job good :slight_smile:

When will this be available? Do you have a release date?

SU2 seems available both in AliExpress and their website. I ordered it on their website directly, and I was given no confirmation email, I think they’ve literally just started selling directly and it’s a bit scrapy still? @vapcell_Dennis Can you confirm the orders are working? I can’t even see an order page or an account page after logging in, order code is 20240718004

Still no confirmation email and their site doesn’t even have a login page, I think I just got scammed

Already a week old, but here’s a first impression by TLF member Rubber Duck:

Still no charger or even any order confirmation email, tried contacting their support, no reply. Stay away from their store

If you paid with PayPal, dispute the transaction with PayPal.
If that doesn’t work, or if you didn’t use PayPal, dispute the transaction with your credit card company. :+1:

Just to update on the situation, I ended up disputing on PayPal and got refunded same day, then ordered from AliExpress.

Guess what, I received 2 chargers and now they’re asking me via WhatsApp why I disputed after “signing the package”. I didn’t sign anything and it most definitely arrived way later after I disputed, in fact I believed it was the AliExpress one until the second one showed up.

This is all to say their website works and is indeed cheaper, but order at your own risk because after they take the money, there is no tracking, confirmation, account area, nothing. The product just shows up after a month.

Old post, late reply.

I priced one out and with shipping it was around $35 if I remember right. It also requires a legacy power mode that isn’t in newer USB specs. 12v5a or something like that.

Hello everyone,

I’m new here, and this is my first time posting on BLF. I recently purchased a Vapcell S4+ V3 charger and received it just yesterday. After going through the previous topic titled “Test/Review of Vapcell S4+ Fast Charger,” I came across a test conducted by HKJ. In that review, it was noted that the older first version of this charger displayed the internal resistance as being only half of the actual battery resistance, which raised concerns about its accuracy.

Given this, I wanted to ask if this issue has been resolved in the newer V3 version of the Vapcell S4+ charger? Does the V3 still have the same internal resistance display issue, or has it been improved for more accurate readings?

I appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have used the V3 version.

Thanks in advance!

1 Thank

I don’t know the details, but I recall in the past reading that internal resistance measurement are relatively tricky, and that most chargers that attempt to measure it do not do very well at it.

It sounds like the S4 plus is at least consistent, so you can use it to see proportionately how much IR has increased over time as cells age, but you likely can’t compare the results it gives to other chargers or to manufacturer specs.

If you really need accurate IR measurements you might need to consider a more sophisticated charger.

I’m more concerned if they ever fixed the power bank feature burning up the charger issue. I’d rather they delete the feature if it’s problematic

1 Thank

Or get a good dedicated 4 wire AC impedance meter for much better consistency and accuracy. I haven’t found any of the cell chargers to be great for IR measurements. Though if they are relatively consistent they can be used document relative changes in cell IR.

I just bought the v3 version charger and all is great, but honestly I’m afraid to test the power bank function. You know: The blue smoke… :grin:

Still wonder why ppl want to use it with the S4+ :yum:

The charger is to big and heavy to use it mobile as a powerbank

For blackouts? It is nice to have something that can use your various batteries to charge a phone.

1 Thank

I thought that magic smoke came out of it when using the power bank function. Or was that a different vapcell charger?

Yep, it´s the S4+

I have some Powerbanks with different sizes, I think most ppl have

There are many options on many gadgets that we don’t use, but we like to know that they are there and working properly if needed.
