    Damn! That's cheap. I have the 2-battery charger that I bought a while ago for more than this price. I might get this one too.

    PS: It's coming up as $19.82 for me though when I click on the link, unless I'm doing something wrong.

    So how long does it take to charge say 4x 2100mAh AA ?

    • dfaktz on 13/09/2017 - 20:40
      +1

      Well, it takes me about 2-3hrs to charge 2x3000mAh 18650's, but thats with a 4-5 year old version without the 1500amp fast charge for batteries this one boasts.
      I think I might get it based on that fact alone.

      EDIT: Fast-Charging is limited to one slot.. and also this one powers slots differently to mine, my estimation would actually be around the 6 hour mark for all 4.
      EDIT #2: I'm not going to get it after looking at it in depth and having a couple reviews in the background… The D4 is by far the better product and it will last you so long that your investment will be given back many many times over.

    • Russ on 13/09/2017 - 22:15

      For NiMh batteries, the I4 will charge 1-2 batteries at 500mA, so just under 6 hours for 2100mAh batteries. For 3-4 batteries the charge current drops to 375mA, so just under 8 hours.

      For NiMh batteries, the I4 is probably the slowest smart charger that has been on OzBargain. That's both good and bad - the good is that the batteries will stay cool during charging, so you'll probably get the rated cycle life from the batteries. The bad is the inconvenience of a long charge cycle, you have to plan ahead much more than with a typical 3-4 hour smart charger.

      The Nitecore D4 is a little faster for 1-2 batteries at 750mA, but the same 375mA for 3-4 batteries. The D4 also has a selectable 300mA setting, which is good for AAA batteries. The I4 doesn't have this.

      • lostn on 13/09/2017 - 23:34

        That doesn't sound impressive at all.

        I would buy the Ikea charger for $15.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/09/2017 - 07:34

          yes very underwhelming.

          I've got a rapid charge varta one which does 2 AA in 30-40mins.
          alas it's only take 2 batts.

      • dufflover on 14/09/2017 - 07:45

        With our supply of eneloops we just rotate the batteries through and do overnight charges. It's kind of like why I don't care if my USB chargers at home don't have QC - I'll be charging my phone overnight 99% of the time anyway (car and powerbank do though).

        Hello, any chance we could see a special deal on the D4? (Currently $45.05 Delivered) I know its already discounted but it would be nice to see the same sort of discount rate for it (50% to bring it under $30 or even the 69% this is listed at heh). The D4 deal will fly off the shelves if you ask me ..and definitely strengthen a relationship with OZB ;)

        • hawkeye10 on 13/09/2017 - 21:11

          There was a deal for D4 on Gearbest last Sunday. Around $27 total with Priority shipping.

    What AA and AAA batteries do people recommend to go with this?

    • Fiximol on 13/09/2017 - 20:13
      +2

      From brick and mortar, Ikea Laddas (the higher capacity ones) are good. Aldi activ energy ones also seem to have decent feedback. Otherwise the ones that I am aware of but likely to have to buy online are Tenergy cells which have good rep, and if course the OzB currency, eneloops.

    • Suckerzpayretail on 13/09/2017 - 20:34

      Eneloop, I got mine from groupon with 15% off.

      The Ikea ones a reasonable price from memory and have good feedback

    • Russ on 13/09/2017 - 22:23

      This charger has too high a current for AAA batteries, unless you always remember to charge four batteries at a time. With four batteries, all will charge at 375mA which is a little high but okay. For three or fewer batteries, some or all will be charged at 500mA, which is too high a current for AAA batteries, it will shorten their life.

  • AussieDaddy on 13/09/2017 - 19:50

    OK, not sure if this is the same charger (Intellicharger, is this the same?), but this reviewer says there's a heat issue @ 8:42 mark. Don't know.

          The cell chemistry and structure do not allow for recharging. Just invest in proper NiMH rechargeable

    • TechAroundYou on 14/09/2017 - 17:25

      Technically, yes, you need an alkaline battery charger. However, in Australia, it is not allowed to add alkaline type in the rechargeable batteries list of battery chargers. You will find some sellers sell alkaline battery charger,but you cannot find it being listed in the specification of the chargers.

    For anyone remotely curious about battery/health management I'd rather spend a bit more and get the D4 or a Littokala tbh. Or esp say if charging lithium ion batts. Just being able to see what the charger is doing helps with the safety aspect like if a cell is on the way out or not.

        Has a screen to show the status of your battery. That's the main difference.

        • dfaktz on 14/09/2017 - 04:01

          Oh it has so much more than that, so much so that it's easier to look-up the specs or a comparison than me rattling off features/abilities from memory.

  • 2late on 13/09/2017 - 21:28

    I personally like the look of D4 and I think it's showing in more detail about each battery LCD display in full details…

  • hollykryten on 13/09/2017 - 21:32

    I wonder if this is a real Nitecore and not one of those counterfeits.

    Can this seller guarantee "authentic Nitecore i4" and not counterfeit. $18.65 delivered seems way too cheap to be a authentic.

    • harkoliar on 13/09/2017 - 22:04

      Once you receive the charger there should be a validation code for you to verify.

      I don't really have any evidence but different smart chargers are smart in different ways. Like my D4 can charge some batteries that my old Soshine smart charger errors out on.
