Up until this point my M6 and SP03 and Courui mostly just ran on 2 cells at a time because I couldn’t easily charge more than that. I’m sure they will be happy to be fully fed now. 
Not flashlight related, but today I renewed my entertainment setup with a new Samsung TV and a pair of amazing sounding Klipsch R-15PM speakers. Early Christmas gift 
Highly recommended if you’re after a pair of compact All in one powered speakers, it has 6 different inputs and can be easily switched with the remote. Eliminates the fuss of a dedicated amplifier and separated speakers.
that looks like a very decent setup will34. congrats
Very Nice Will. Looks like one of those curved screens. I need to replace my 61” Samsung DLP soon. It’s 9 years old and it’s got 9 dead pixles. Luckily I only see them on white scenes. I went to Costco yesterday to take a look. I haven’t decided on which model, but I’m going to stick with Samsung and it’s got to be 60” or more.
Actually not today, but yesterday…
I had djburkes build a beautiful FET driven C8 for me using a grey Xin host with a forward clicky. Just a fantastic light that puts to shame my previous EDC pack light. It has Bistro, and that took some getting accustomed to with the forward clicky.
Also had a BLF A6 come in. Same form factor as a S2+, but with significantly better output.
I keep 2 lights in my EDC pack (Maxpedition Fatboy), these lights have taken their places.
Looks nice. Can you charge a pair of 26650’s at 2amps a piece or does it split to 1amp a piece?
4 channels at 0.5a or 1a each, or the two center channels at 2a each.
I was going to get the Liitokala 500, but it didn’t have the 2amp option and I didn’t want to pay for an Opus. I would never use the testing functions of those two anyways.
$18 for LUC V4 is a steal. True, 2A is useful for 5000mAh 26650.
So, will a pair of 26650’s fit in the two center channels?
Yes sir
OK…I was almost ready to pull trigger on LiitKola 500 BUT now i’m on the fence as the Efest will do a pair of BIG BOYS in the center at 2amps :+1:
decisions decisions…
It’s very nice, but it doesn’t do capacity tests, right?
Nope, just basic charging. HKJ has done a few reviews on them and I know Djozz has one he likes.
The Opus will do both the testing functions and the 2amps*2 if you are ok spending that much.
Your are lucky. Got mine a couple of weeks ago and it charges up to 4.25 V (too much) and the charging voltage has a high frequent ripple of up to 1 Volt depending on the slot (don’t know if this harms). Since I don’t want to damage my cells I don’t use it anymore and bought an XTAR SV2 which works better. I have a 4x charger already but needed a 2 A charger for 26650 cells.
I was actually hoping mine would go to 4.22 or 4.23v. 4.25v is still within the spec listed by most battery manufacturers (4.2v +or- 0.05v), though it’s the absolute top. HKJ didn’t mention anything of a bad ripple, and I don’t have any way to measure mine.
Maybe someone here would buy it off you.
I measured the ripple with an oscilloscope. I got the 4.25 V after taking the cells out of the charger so at charge-stop the voltage probably was even a bit higher. After all I read higher voltage puts more stress to the cells with only little runtime advantage.
I’ll open the charger in the near future and try to eliminate the weaknesses.
True, no capacity tests. I don’t have any way to measure capacities so Liitkola 500 makes sense. The 26650’s will just take twice as long to charge . And I don’t have but couple lights that use 26650’s.
Finally got off the fence and ordered the Liikola 500 charger
My first 4-bay charger
