Hello,
I already own a Nitecore D4 charger but I left it in my country. Here in China I do not have a good one so I am willing to buy one that fits my needs.
The main problem with Nitecore D4 is that big batteries (as "D" size, for example) do not fit well inside. I also think that the charger is too fast sometimes (750mAh when only one cell is charging) and maybe that is bad for battery life (correct me if I am wrong, please).
I would like to buy a new charger with at least the following features:
What chargers could I buy with those characteristics? After knowing some I would try to find them online (Taobao, Amazon or any other online shop).
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers,
Joan

I would like to buy a new charger with at least the following features:
- Good safety features.
- Good quality.
- Reliable warranty and good customer service.
- Easy to operate.
- Includes a screen with information easy to understand (LCD probably).
- Allows me to charge either just one single cell or multiple (at least four, but I can also accept more as six or eight).
- It can charge different battery types (different chemistries and sizes as 26650, D,LiFePO4, Ni-HM, Ni-Cd, Li-ion... the more the better) and detect them automatically (auto-detection is important for me and I think it would add safety).
- It should be "Eneloop-and-alike friendly" (I mean it should charge LSD Ni-MH taking really good care of them to help keeping its lifetime as long as possible).
- Let me choose between different charging modes (at least two: slow and fast).
- It should include an analyzer to spot bad batteries, revive them if possible, etc.
- I want to be able to connect it at home but also in my car (so it should have 12V input).
- It would be nice if I could find a solar panel in the future that could feed the charger so I could use it with the power of the sun if I needed.
- Support for different currents around the world (100-240V) and let me change the connector cable (with C1 or C7 connector or any other standard easy to find and replace).
- Any other feature good to have it (maybe I will need it in the future or I will use it from the first day).
What chargers could I buy with those characteristics? After knowing some I would try to find them online (Taobao, Amazon or any other online shop).
Thank you very much in advance!
