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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
