Any complaints about the Pila IBC

[lengendcpf]

Seems that this charger is one of the best, if not the best off the shelf for charging Li-ion batteries from 10440 to 18650.

So far, I have only read good comments about it.

So.. any bad points/experiences about this charger?

My only complaint is that it is bloody hard to get in Australia

I talked to Pila and they wanted a rather large (but understandable) commitment from me in order to take care of the certifications needed for import, much beyond my means to distribute. Eventually enough dealers here may get together to do a "group" buy and get them onto the market, but it will take a while.

Regards,
Eric

I have no choice but to agree on this:wave:.

I have talked to the Pila at HK, they only sell the IBC together with their batteries.

Talked to Flashlightz which offered the cheapest IBC at $36..
But they only wanted to do business within the US.

If one dealer..Fenix-store or AW willing to sell the IBC at $40, they can be sure that the sale of the IBCs will be ..

I have talked to them too.
The charger is $49.
Shipping is $15 or $28(insurance) to my place.

The shipping is the only thing holding me back, when I compared the shipping charges to the price of the charger..

If you have them I'll be the first to buy from you.

Anyway, an order of MAHA C-9000 is coming your way soon.

This is what I paid from them. I know it's expensive but I wanted a good Li-Ion charger as the WF-139 I had overcharged cells...

Can someone confirm that the following two items are the same charger but the first package contains the DC/DC adaptor while the second one does not ??

The one with the DC/DC adaptor included is actually cheaper ?
