Sold/Expired Sales Thread: USB Micro Charger for Li-Ion/Poly Cells

[Sabrewolf]

That would take forever. I would think you'd want 240v input to charge a car. Theres a lot of lithium in those hybrids coming out.

I dont know if you are joking.. But you would want a much
bigger charger foy car-based Li-Ion cells...

me joking? nah never LOL.

100-800mah seems like a good range for flashlights and to keep the price reasonable. I dont know how easy it would be to compete with the higher powered programable chargers like the kind the RC guys use.

Well thats the hard part.. I havent seen any decent adjustable current
chargers that use battery bays. They are all Clip-Lead style.

Do you all think my charger idea would actually sell?
I wanna get a prototype going for all to see..
So i guess i will have to wait till then.
Chimeras and Taglights come first :thumbsup:

Will it be like this but with more charging options?

Well, Not really..
It will have a different shape and only charge 2x batts.
And dont forget i'am gonna use the 2x Digital voltmeters 😎

It sounds pretty awesome to me; I think it should sell.

It would be a zero fuss battery charging solution, no magnets, balance leads, and other things to fuss with. Also, it should be much more portable than a hobby charger setup. I'm excited to see the prototype when you have time to make it.

 

[Sabrewolf]

Gimmie a week or 2 for a prototype.
I need to order a buncha parts for it.

I am working on a 2-Bay Adjustable charger that will work with 26600-10440 batts, And 50-800mA rates.
It will also have a Digital meter on both channels for
monitoring charge voltage and testing batts.

I "Think" the price will be around 60$....
Keep in mind that it "IS" adjustable,
And supports LOTS of batt sizes :thumbsup:

It will also have the ability to work from solar panels "😎" 😀

Well that's the hard part.. I haven't seen any decent adjustable current chargers that use battery bays. They are all Clip-Lead style.

I'm interested -- depending on the state of my pockets when it becomes available. Still, a live product seems far enough in the future that $60 or so should be do-able. The specs look good. Your reputation is solid. I'm interested. :thumbsup:

That's the ticket. Keep your current customers happy then get some more of us on the hook. 😀

Ohh, How is everyone liking thier little chargers? lovecpf

 

[fasteddie]

Are you still taking orders for the 100mA USB charger?

Two questions. How can I use it with household 120VAC current? I do turn off my computer once in a while. 🙄 And second, is there any indicator to show when the battery is fully charged? Thanks.

Yes, This is a continuous sale 😎
And grab yourself a USB 110V adapter to use it from the wall.
Also, There is an led on the charger that turns off when the
battery is done charging.

Just occurred to me that my ipod has a wall usb charger adapter. Will that work with the micro charger?

Hi Robert,

Would this cool USB charger work with an AW "C" Li-Ion? I ordered the 300mA version (post 175 here) so I think its enough, right?

Thanks,

Mark
