Is the YOHO-122 out of stock everywhere??

[Outdoors Fanatic]

Does anybody knows where to find them? I need at least 3...

Thanks in advance.:twothumbs

The only places I was aware of that had them were Battery Station and e-lectronics.

BS sold out a few weeks ago. Looks like e-lectronics has now as well.

Glad I got two of them when I did.

 

[ptolemy]

unfortunately it's probably gone for good.

i could use 1 as well

I need one too... If anyone has one and would like to sell it shoot me an email: [email protected]

Wow, that was a near miss. I've only had mine a few weeks, haven't even gotten my charging spacers in yet.

 

[Black Rose]

It would be intesting to find out who made it and if it is available under a different name.

I don't want to take mine apart to see what's inside to get any hints.

Both of mine are going full bore right now, charging up my 18650 and 17670 cells for a meet tomorrow.

Charging spacers? You don't need spacers for a YOHO. That is, unless you want to try to charge something smaller than a 17500. That wouldn't be advised.

AW's IMRs advertise a maximum charge rate of 1.5A.

The Yoho advertises a maximum charge rate of 1.0A.

I'm impatient and cheap. But mostly impatient.

Wrong.

AW IMR18650
Specifications:
Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 1600mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 4.5A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 10C

Ah yes, the IMR's. You're right! That's the one chemistry I'm not into......yet. And yes, I see the 16340 is indeed max 1.5 Amp.

EDIT to add, I asked in another thread, does anybody know if IMR cell remaining capacity can be figured out by voltage, the same as LiCo's?

Right.

IMR16340 Specifications :

Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 550mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 1.5A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 8C
Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius

Black Rose nailed it - I'm using 16340s on an IMR-E2 for a pocket M4. Maybe I'll pick up some non-laptop-pull 18650s at some point, but I don't even use those heavily enough to care.

The 122 is pleasantly fast and the cells are barely warm. The aluminum spacers on the other hand... are probably why the cells are warm at all.

BUMP!!!
I am looking for one of these for me and my brother
:thinking:

 

[jp2515]

Bump!

I searched Google and have come to the conclusion these are GONE! Hopefully they will turn up again or another comparable product will come along :sigh:

Actually, the Yoho-122 is still available if you're willing to pay substantially more than the cost of Pila IBC charger for one.

They're being marketed on amazon.com and several other online sites under the LedWave brand:

However, there are so few hits on Google for the Yoho-122, that I can't help but think it's probably carrying another brand as well. If so, and we could just figure out what that is, perhaps they could still be purchased for a reasonable price.
