Nitecore SC4 Superb Charger - First Impressions
Рет қаралды 18,250
Күн бұрынA review and test of the Nitecore SC4 Li-Ion & Ni-MH battery charger. This four-bay smart charger will charge a huge variety of battery types from AAA to 10440, right up to 26650 commonly found in flashlights.

In this video I'm taking a look at the charger, showing you how it works and chatting a bit about why Ni-MH batteries are such a pain to charge.
** I mistakenly stated internal resistance in megohms in the video. This should have been milliohms **

I have a really old NiCd charger that works well with new NiMh, batteries only get slightly warm yeah, but most NiCd chargers don;t work for NiMh been looking at the UMS4 charger and it does NiMh & LiIon - WOW! I've heard that Nitecore is good quality

How long takes charging a 4 battery’s 18650 in same time? And it’s stops automaticly if he is full charging? Or i need to watch out always to look when he is 100% ?
@TallysVids Жыл бұрын
It stops charging automatically. Hard to say exactly as there are various specs for these batteries, but a few days ago I charged four 18650 with a lowish power left in them in around 3-3:30 hours. The batteries I mentioned are 3100 mAh with 10A continuous discharge.

@@tdcattech many thanks I’m hoping new charger will solve problems as got my Epipe other day with new 18350 cells but am having trouble with it where it flashes telling me voltage low so put batteries into another nitecore charger and the voltage in batteries appears to be higher than the low charge voltage stated in Epipe manual yet on the nitecore digicharger Low lights up on display against one of the cells so am thinking thd SC4 and another new set of 18350,s way to solve the problem going forward

looking at this version compared to Nitecore D4 Digicharger Universal Charger that I have just now realizing that it also don't support 21700 ..... but I been charging them for years with it so I believe this also does support it but probably best not to mix other types while charging ... but hey what do I know ?
@countspankulots4024 Жыл бұрын
Does it charge 18650 and 21700? I vape and have been using the Nitecore I2 for the last few years and need a replacement. Was also thinking of Nitecore's Q2 or Q4 as well. Any suggestions?

Doesn't look like it will charge 21700. "The SC4 charger is compatible with the following Li-ion/IMR/LiFePO4 batteries: 10440, 10500, 12340, 12500, 12650, 13450, 13500, 13650, 14350, 14430, 14500, 14650, 16500, 16340 (RCR123), 16650, 17350, 17500, 17650, 17670, 18350, 18490, 18500, 18650, 22500, 22650, 25500, 26500, 26650. In addition, the following NiMH (NiCd) cells can be used: AA, AAA, AAAA, C and D."

I think the best charger for 21700 is nitecore ums4 its higher class than q4 and the price comparison is something for example if q4 is 30$ ums4 will be 40$ i think the best for you is to go for the ums4

I have the nitecore D4 and 5 VC4 from xStar. I found out that xstar doesn't charge the batteries 100% and the nitecore does absolute 100% I'm throwing my xstar vc4 away and getting another 3 nitecore but I need one that charges D and C batteries
