JETBeam Intellicharge i4

Man, that's one funky algorithm..... I wonder what it's criteria is for kicking out of CC? On the 1 RCR it dropped out by 3.8 volts while on the 18650 it dropped out at over 4?

I didn't buy a car charger lead. Does any body know the polarity of the centre pin ? Is it centre positive?

Thanks

Yes, center is positive... You can find it in ebay for less than 5$

the old version one works just fine with a 12 volt source

charges 4 Lion cells - no problem

Hi all,

I new to the community and I got "the sickness"

Part of it was buying Intellicharger i4, therfore I have a question:

When one battery is charged, do I have to wait for the others to charge or can I remove it?

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I could not find anything via search.

 

[tandem]

That doesn't sound like a stupid question at all; the charger has only two independent charge channels. Channels 2 and 4 and 1 and 3 work as a team. If all were fully independent then you'd be able to take out cells at will, but that isn't the case.

If you have four cells in and remove one, thus potentially affecting what the charger thinks it knows about the other paired bay, what happens to the charge process at the other bay for that channel?

Maybe ask HJK in his review thread on this charger.

 

[Sensination]

Thanks for the fast response. I will ask HJK :thumbsup:

24 hours is definitely not within specifications for the charger. I used about 11 hours to charger 4 x 3100mAh batteries.

What voltage is the 110V exactly? In my test it is 107V and only 50Hz

Hi HKJ, I just receive 4 panasonic 18650 3100, all comes in 3,16v put all four in the charger at 2:25pm full charged at 8:40pm cutting charge at 4,19v using the 12volts DC connection with a external power supply.

I check the AC voltaje and is 109v 60hz

The next time I will use the AC connection to charge all four to test the charge time.

I think too that the old 4 batteries that I charge the first time had a high internal resistence.

Were these batts old/used? My understanding was that new Li-on batts would measure around 3.6v when new/before charged up.

Is this with the old V1 charger or the new V2 charger?

Any try their D-Cell nihm's in this? If they fit that means a Fenix TK70 maybe in my future

Hi.

Should the battery`s be put in the charger before plugging it in or after, as it charges at 750ma for two and 375ma for four, because if you are charging four, and start putting the battery`s in after the charger has powered up, will it not confuse the charger?

Thanks

John.

Either way, the charger is checking both slots all the time and will change charge current as needed.

So if you start charging two battery`s , they charger at up to 750ma, and then a few minutes later add two more, the charger will drop the two charging at 750ma to 375ma, so all four will be charging at 375ma.

Thanks

I have the V2

Sorry. Double post...

Hello all,
I have this charger and am happy with it. The manual does warn about charging a single battery (aaa or 10440). Here is the actual literature if anyone would like to take a look. Cheers.

It does, but they only need to warn against 10440. AAA does not have any problem with the current.

So, dumb question.. What are people lubricating the springs and sliders with?
