Here are some experiments with the VC4SL:
Xtar 2A PSU QC3.0 with another cable
1. Insert in Bay 1 AA and switched to 1000mA
2. Started with ~ 350mA
3. The current increase to ~ 1000mA
4. Insert in Bay 2 2nd. AA
5. Started with ~ 250mA
6. Later on the current in bay 2 stays at 500mA
7. Insert a AAA in Bay 3
8. Started with ~ 250mA
9. Later on the current in bay 3 stays at 500mA
10. Changed the AA in bay 1
11. Started with ~ 350mA
12. The current increase to ~ 1000mA
13. Insert a AAA in Bay 3
14. Started with ~ 250mA
15. Later on the current stay at 500mA
Two of 3 cells stopped loading to early, 2 don´t reached 50%
AA 2500: 1424mAh
AAA 1100: 327mAh
AAA 800: 194mAh
LG and Realme 2A PSUs without QC
1. Insert in Bay 1 AA and switched to 1000mA
2. Started with ~ 250mA
3. The current increase to ~ 1000mA
4. Insert in Bay 2 2nd. AA
5. Started with ~ 250mA
6. Later on the current in bay 2 stays at 500mA
7. Insert a AAA in Bay 3
8. Current in Bay 1 decrease to 500mA
9. Eject AAA in Bay 3
10. Current in Bay 1 increase to 1000mA
With the LG one cell stopped also to early, with the Realme-PSU it finished loading
Note: Tried 2 Samsung-PSUs, 15W and 25W. The charger did not work with it. With one PSU I saw the display light up for a moment, and then it was dark; with the other one it stays dark.
I think I don´t need to mention that my Skyrc NC1500 and different Mobile Phones work with these PSUs?
Notes:
With 2 cells it´s possible to charge the cell in the 1st bay at 1A, in bay 2 max. 500mA
With 3 cells all bays can only load 500mA
Termination (if charging really finish with full cells) is awful with some kind of NiMHs. The VC4SL seems to beat the NC1500 in overcharging. I will show soon some values and compare what capacity other chargers show at loading the same cells.
The charger starts with a low current and need some minutes to reach the full speed (which is rarely the selected). Even if I wait till the selected current is reached and calculate the time/charge-capacity it´s much slower than displayed current:
Camelion 2500mAh 1000mA = 747mA real speed
EBL 2500mAh 500mA = 380mA real speed
