What charger to get ?

[Ruben41771]

Hi guys and girls.

Need some help from you guys, i am looking for a new charger but my options is heavy limited because not all chargers is available in S.A, i understand the best are Efest Lush Q2, Efest Luc V2, xtar Vc2 Plus or Nitecore SC but not one of them is available in SA.

So my options are :
Nitecore I2 v2
Nitecore Q2
Golisi i2
xtar MC2
Folomov A2
Golisi O2
Golisi S2
Those are about my options.

I am leaning to the Nitecore I2 v2 seems they are decent from what i read up, the only thing that bothers me a bit is the .5A with 2 cells not the full 1A ...
I don't care a lot about the bells and whistle's but want a proper charger.

Thanks

So far I checked Xtar MC2 and Golisi i2.They can charge each battery at 1 amper when 2 batteries are installed.
If you can wait I 'll check and the others.Just avoid Nitecore I2 V2 it charges really slow.

Thanks for the info, and sure can wait, only going to buy on monday.

Nitecore Q2 2 amps fast charge if you put only one battery.1 amp each battery for two slots.
Seems a great choice.

don't forget charging at .5 extends battery life.
i split the difference n charge at .7.

Cool, so you will go for the Q2 over the Golisi ?
Here is the link for the Golisi :

Still searching all of SA for one of the better ones but if i cant find then i will need to go for the Golisi or the Q2 ?

Folomov A2

Charge current can be selected from 250mA, 500mA, 1000mA, 2000mA and for a single cell in #2 slot 3000mA
This seems even better choise.

Folomov A2

Lol, well check out what you need and then give me your end choice, i have been reading up for a day or 2 to get all the info i need, not sure but think it was the Folomov i read a bad review about but not sure.
And thanks for helping, it's a bit hard to choose from the mid spec chargers since i cant get one of the top 5 around here

And like i said only buying on monday so have a weekend to pick the right one so no need for a answer asap

best charger i've ever used (and i've tried loads of nitecores and xtars)...miboxer c4-12. realise it isn't on your list but i'll tell anyone who'll listen about it. 4 cells at 3A each simultaneously. shows temperature and mah hours passed to each cell too.

 

[greek mule]

Golisi O2
2A x 1 1A x 2

Golisi S2
2A X 1 slot

1A X 2 slots​

Golisi I2

2A X 1 slot
1A X 12 slots
I can't decide for you,they are all good chargers.

Ok np, atleast you narrow it down to 3 for me and from what i can read from your post's any one of them will do the job thanks for your time and info

typing error...it's the miboxer c4-12A. they sell them on fasttech but that may not be an option for you.

Will have a look, but for some sad reason SA has a ban on importing any thing e cig related, and a heavy strict policy on any battery related items at customs , but will have a look thanks.

Cool, will read up a bit more on the Folomov then.

 

[Ruben41771]

Just to ad i will consider 4 bays aswell if it will be better than the 2 bays i listed.

The 4 bays i can get is :
Nitecore i4
Xtar D2/4
Xtar VC4, the vc2 is in the top 5 so will the vc4 be just as good ? Will only charge 2 cells at a time.
Xtar X4

@greek mule
Some more options if the 4 slot charger's will be better than the 2 slots i have listed in post 1

 

[mimöschen]

The Xtar VC4 is a good 4-bay charger.
Just make sure you get a decent USB wall adapter as well.
