    I have one of these and think its great. Have had no issues when charging AA/AAA 1.2V rechargeables or 14500/18650 4V LiIon rechargables.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/08/2018 - 18:12

      How long does it take to charge a flat AA & 18650? the review seems to indicate ~2hr & ~4hrs?

      • Sillen on 20/08/2018 - 18:29
        +3

        Took me around 4hrs at 500mA for 4x18650 3000mA Samsung 30Q though they weren't completely flat

      • Matt2024 on 20/08/2018 - 18:36

        Those times seem about right - I havent actually timed them tbh

        • Kangal on 20/08/2018 - 18:49
          +3

          I got one of these last year and it's not that great. Some batteries it pretends to charge but doesnt. Other times it charges for a small amount. I wasn't using the best cells, however my "dumb charger" wasn't having any problems with it. I ended up buying a different one, and use it rarely.

          I feel this one's a little OzHyped.

        • geebee on 20/08/2018 - 18:58

          @Kangal:

          I have the 2 and 1 cell versions and they have done a superb job of charging: AAA, AA Eneloops, 18650, 14500 lithiums and the double one gets used very heavily.

        • skillet on 24/08/2018 - 12:37

          @Kangal:

          Thanks that's what I need to know. You can try heating up the older cells with a hairdryer. This will lower the internal resistance and it should work fine. I really hate these way too smart charger which can be dumber than dumb chargers.

    • skillet on 21/08/2018 - 10:46

      Does it check for older cells?

      I have a Maha C9000 and it rejects older cells which are perfectly suitable for remotes and low drain devices. It drives me crazy I can't charge them with a smart charger which isn't that smart at all.

      • adr8 on 21/08/2018 - 10:53

        This may help…

        'Reviving batteries that won't charge
        If a battery is really dead, most chargers will reject it. But never fear, I'm going to show you how to revive dead batteries so the chargers will recognize them. Basically, you just force some voltage into the battery to get it up to a minimum…
        …Anyway, here are the ways to resurrect dead rechargeable batteries:
        Dumb Charger method. If you have another, cheaper charger that doesn't test the battery voltage, just stick in the dead battery for a while until it's charged enough to be recognized in your good charger.'

        Source

        • skillet on 24/08/2018 - 12:38

          I usually just put in a healthy cell, wait for it to pass the internal resistance test then quickly swap with older cells. It works but troublesome.

          You can't revive cells with high internal resistance. All you can do is heat them up with a hairdryer that will temporarily lower the IR. This should pass most way too smart charger tests.

    Great price. I spent nearly $40 on the Efest LUC V4, should have just got this instead.

    • Fappo on 20/08/2018 - 19:29

      Can you use a LUC V4 for 1.2V NiMH (AA, AAA) batteries? I seem to remember it not being compatible, but am not certain. I looked on the base and it doesn't have NiMH listed so not a good sign, I suppose.

      • nubzy on 20/08/2018 - 21:47

        Not sure? I only use it for 18650.

      • StuBalls on 20/08/2018 - 19:11
        +3

        It is USB powered, but you'll want the full 2A if you want to fast charge or charge more than 2 at a time.

        • NobalaKoba on 20/08/2018 - 19:12

          Ah right, cheers. For some reason I was thinking of a dc power cable instead of USB adapter.

      • blonky on 20/08/2018 - 20:25

    • dcep on 02/11/2018 - 14:39

      • AussieDaddy on 02/11/2018 - 15:24

        I used mine with my Samsung phone charger (the wall part) and it worked fine.

  • dufflover on 20/08/2018 - 19:03

    I've got the Lii-500 instead but great deal for those who don't care about the test functions. No excuse forking out for eneloops or even LADDAs and not picking this up to maximise their usage.

    • Matt2024 on 20/08/2018 - 19:53
      +1

      I already have Lii-402, but was looking to get a Lii-500 as well.

      Have you been happy with the additional test functions ?

      How do you rate this unit, or would you buy something else if you were looking again ?

      • Sillen on 20/08/2018 - 20:26

        I have Lii-500, VC4 and Lii-402 and rate them in that order. Lii-500 test function is brilliant. I've got a Miboxer C8 on the way and will then offload VC4 as surplus to requirements and put Lii-402 away for emergencies.

  • Switchblade88 on 20/08/2018 - 19:07
    +3

    Turns out this can be used as a power bank utilising batteries for USB charging. That's a handy feature; however the review states it only uses one out of the four cells at any time. Still, that's brilliant in a pinch!

  • NobalaKoba on 20/08/2018 - 19:11

    Thanks! It's cheaper to pay in USD, as even with PayPal conversion it's $9.52 that way. If you have a fee free card, it costs $9.16 with mastercard. Might be worth putting to USD to AUD price in the title instead of the straight up AUD price.

    When charging Eneloops/LADDA is it best to use the lowest ampage, so 500mAh?

    • blonky on 20/08/2018 - 20:36
      +1

      Think there’s some kind of rule of thumb…maybe charge at 0.5x the capacity? Using a rate that’s too low may not trigger the charger to stop when full.
      I charge my laddas at 500mah

    • garage sale on 20/08/2018 - 21:51

      yes, use low current, helps keep the internal temperature down,

      • King Tightarse on 21/08/2018 - 08:33

        But not too low as blonky said above - any less than 500mAh and the termination gets unreliable. Around 700mAh to 1Ah is the best rage for reliable termination without overcooking for 2000mah batteries

    This is a great charger, can even charge eneloops, but won't go to the max of 2000 mA unless you're using just one slot. It doesn't overcharge batteries either.

    It's strange that this charger only got 11 votes when it was posted in April.
    Maybe it's because of all the Thorfire 18650 torch deals that have been posted lately.

    • adr8 on 21/08/2018 - 09:19
      +3

      I too am surprised it got so many votes compared to the last few times it was posted, although it did get 68 votes in March making it somewhat popular.

      The Lii-202 has always been popular, over 100 votes in this deal and this one. but hasn't been discounted since.

      With all the torch and Eneloop deals posted recently I thought it worthwhile to post a deal on a battery charger, but didn't expect it to be this popular. Having said all that, I always knew it was a good deal as your getting a good smart charger for under $10.

    Aldi have got the 20V Li-Ion Drill and Impact Driver Kit on sale 25 August, so hopefully they will have the battery packs for sale separately. Then you can do the 18650 battery hack.

      You get more mileage out of that than I do WN! Nice work :)

      BTW, for anyone interested… those Samsung cells I extracted from the ALDI Tool Packs tested really well too. Here's a pic of their capacity and their internal resistance after a few test cycles. I tested the remaining six the same way and as you can see they all passed the capacity test with flying colours as they all exceed their advertised 2000mAh plus the internal resistance is the lowest I've seen… but I've only had my Zanflare C4 Charger/Analyser for a week so haven't gone through all my other loose cells yet.

    • Skinnerr on 21/08/2018 - 19:25

      After some research found that these are high current/drain batteries and not very good for torches.

      • SteveAndBelle on 22/08/2018 - 07:17
        +2

        Well yes but I wouldn't say 'not very good' for torches. Yes, there are other cells that are lower current/drain but higher capacity so allow longer run times which would obviously be ideal for a torch however these Samsungs still work perfectly well, wont damage anything and at only $4 each are excellent bang for buck and good all-rounders handy to keep fully charged & ready to go.

        • Skinnerr on 22/08/2018 - 15:55
          +1

          Poor choice of words by me. They are good quality batteries but made redundant by a better model for close to the same price. I meant for low current torches ad there are obviously torches with with high drain requirements.

          Let me rephrase to not cost effective for the price, over time. Smaller capacity means more charging more frequently. More charges means shorter potential lifespan means the sooner you need to replace.

          https://m.ebay.com/itm/4PCS-Original-Samsung-30Q-18650-Li-Io… $6 more gets you 25%? more potential capacity.

    • adr8 on 27/08/2018 - 22:27

      Normally they don't take this long to process orders, but I just checked the product listing and it states processing time of 7-15 business days for the Lii-402 see here

      As an example I ordered this and this yesterday and it has already shipped. Coupons if any one is interested QCXZY04 & JNDLNL43.
