I need to change the Gyrfalcon S8000 I find it hard to change the battery setting when I need to use it, once every few months.
Maybe if I used it more frequently it wont be an issue as I wont forget to navigate the menu.
I have NIMH Eneloop AA,AAA, and two 18650 for two flashlights. The main reason I got the S8000 was for the ability to charge 1.5v but have not purchase 1.5v batteries yet for a smart lock.
Considering if the UI is easy to navigate:
Opus C3100 v2.2 - from what I can read a good overall charger not sure of the UI
ISDT C4 Evo - seem like a great feature charger and look smallish
SKyRC 3000,5000 - they both also with good features not sure which is easier to use.
Do you have the latest FW installed on your S8000? That FW version, 3.0.66 introduced “Simple Mode” for charging - and it does not get much simpler than simple mode. I would check that out if you don’t have it - before spending any more money.
@Northman that does look extremely easy to use cant imagine something much simpler than that. Thanks.
@epictetus probably not, I have the one they shipped with it I got it last year. I guess I could give that a try, but it seem I have to check the manual just to get going. Great charger just not for my use case as I dont use it frequently. Thanks.
In Simple Mode, as introduced in the latest FW, the S8000 is as easy or easier to use than simple-only chargers even if you only use it infrequently. Upgrading the FW is pretty easy too.
