good charger …if genuine. Many fakes about.
Or ask them for an insulated Chinese two pin plug :)
China's pin/plug system is/is almost identical to Australia.
Seems to be 2 listings, one at $56. Any difference between the two? I hope this one is genuine.
You can verify if it is geniune here http://charger.nitecore.com/validation/
I bought a fake one from a local seller I ended up getting a refund without having to return it. I then purchased a geniune D4 and from what I can tell the fake one performs exactly like the geniune.
Its the stuff you 'cant tell' that matters.
I only charge Aldi NiMH on the fake one and keep a close eye on it while charging so no big loss if they ruin the batteries but been using it for a year now and so far so good.
I charge the same batteries with both D4s side by side and they both charge at the same rate and finish basically within minutes of each other, end voltage and temperature are also similar.
The funny thing is I opened up the fake one and it had Nitecorc written on the capacitors but everything else is like the geniune D4 they look identical inside and out. Bloody good fakes lol.
where to get LiFePO4 that can be shipped to AU
Sorry, tried pasting a link didn't work. Search eBay, particularly on eBay.co.uk. Vendors get around shipping rules by putting the batteries in shitty torches
thanks
Anyone? Any ideas which one is Australia plug (AU)
It won't have an AU plug just get one of http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-New-2-Prong-Figure-8-AC-Pow…
Thanks adr8
But kinda worrying… if it's compatible or fitted or same voltage?
I have been using the same one on both my D4s for the past year without a problem as long as it has the figure 8 plug it will fit the D4 and the other end will have 2 AU pins. Or you could use the plug LIB supply I'm sure they will ship it with an AU adapter.
Coming up as 27.68 for me
Thanks again adr8, REALLY appreciated
Now hope it's geniune.
Great charger, I have one of these and an XTAR VC4, basically the same unit. Does anyone know of a good alternative that does what these do along with 9V and D batteries?
Much more convenient than the Trustfire TR-001 chargers. No stopping at 4.00V, or risk of overcharging if you leave a small cell on there for too long.
Know why they're called Trustfire?
Because you can trust that one day it will cause a fire!
I'm really behind in the battery game. I have a pack of chocolate and a pack of tropical eneloop's, AAA and AA. Is this what I need to charge them, or is there some better/correct charger I am after? My poor eneloops have been sitting waiting for use for well over a year now, the poor little champs :'(
Thanks for the deal OP.
Was it real?
Received mine today and it's genuine.
Plug options are UK, EU, USA. Which one do I want for Australia? There's a picture with 3 plug types, one of which looks Australian. I'm thinking 2 flat pins = US, 2 round pins = EU. But aren't UK plugs great big things with 3 pins?
Sounds like a good deal btw, I've been meaning to buy one for a while.
