Just got my charger today, It took 10 day`s to the UK not bad.
The charger is extremely light, feels fragile the cover just slides off and is seperate, it has 4 while led`s one for each channel.
It came with an Chinese manual and the writing on the charger is in Chinese as well so i will have to attempt to work out when the lights mean.
When charging the white light flashes slow, when charged the while light is on, I think fast flashing is error full battery, maybe reverse cell as well.
When being used as an usb power source (needs 4 cells) the white led seems to slowly flash on each channel one at a time, moving from channel to channel why it is doing this i don't know.
Anyway that`s all for now.
EDIT: I did a power bank capacity test, I charged 4 x Tronic Eco Energy 2300mah nimh cells in the charger then connected a usb charge monitor/meter to the usb output and then an 5watt led light.
OK, the led light is drawing 480ma from usb port, when the charger died my usb meter recorded 1584mah at 5v so that is not enough to charge a modern smartphone if it can charge at all from the 500ma usb port power bank.
