Opus BT - C3100 V2.2 Universal Battery Charger Speedy LCD Display Smart Battery Charger for Rechargeable Batteries Ni-MH Ni-Cd AA AAA,3.7V Li-ion 18650 26650 17670 14500 18490 (4-Slot)

Mostly charging 18650's and 26650's, but this is the best charger I've used so far. Started with an old Nitecore 2bay, then to a LUC2, up to a LUC 4, and next to a XTAR VC4. The LUC4 and VC4 ended up having issues with the voltage output, which is why they were replaced. I still have a VC2 charger for travel and have no issues with that one after about 2 years, but that's for when i'm on the road. First off, this comes with everything, which is sadly not the case with other chargers, but here you don't have to worry about buying an extra power supply like with the VC4. Second, the fan (in v2.2) is awesome. Unlike my other chargers, I've yet to remove a battery that is hot after charging. I always let the batteries rest before use, but I still like that they aren't hot after charging. The fan can be loud, or just high pitched, so I wouldn't want this thing in my bedroom...on in the master bath, but anywhere else is fine as it's almost always easily tuned out (its running right now in my home office and I can only hear it after mentioning this). Third, the charge is accurate with a wide range of options and voltages to choose from. I've already tested and fixed one battery, but other than that I usually just charge at 500ma, which it had no problems doing in all four slots. I even went up to 1kma and it had no problems in all 4 slots. I replaced the LUC4 and VC4 because after a year, the charging became inconsistent even with new batteries; time will tell if this charger will do the same but it's working better than the others so far. The display takes a little getting used to and selecting different charges for different bays can be a little wonky, but it's easy to figure out and get used to. Over all I'm very happy with the charger and would recommend it over XTAR, Efest, and Nitecore's chargers.

Out of the Box: The unit came with the base station, and power supply and Manual. Pros: I found these to be very well design elements of this unit both before, during and after using it: Modes: There are 5 different modes that can be selected for the unit to perform. Charging, Discharging, Refresh, Test, and Quick Test. Having this many options for your batteries is quite nice! Overheating protection: It has a temperature control monitor and a cooling fan built into the system and it does a very nice job. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't monitor the batteries. When you get a "heater" on you hands, the unit will keep dumping more and more power into that bad battery and struggle to keep the unit cool. I have a laser temperature unit to keep track of the batteries. Display: I found this very useful. you can cycle through all the settings the unit is currently set for without disrupting the process, including the current status of the process that it is doing. Current: This is my favorite part of the unit. You can charge or discharge 4 cells at the same time at 1000mAh or 1 amp for Lithium Ion cells. you are also given charging options of 200, 300, 500, 700, 1000, 1500 and 2000mAh. However for the upper charging mAh options you have to use certain slots and only 2 can be done at the same time. Voltage meter: Now I only use the voltage from my multimeter as the actual voltage of a cell. But this unit isn't dumb. If it reads that the voltage of a cell is low, it will not simple start dumping the selected mAh current you selected into the cell. It automatically drops the current down to a very small "trickle" charge until the voltage comes up enough to start putting in the selected current. I like this feature! Backlit Display: You have the option of having the backlit display on all the time or having it turn itself off after a preprogrammed amount of time. Multiple Cell options: Way too many to list here, but trust me this baby can handle all kinds of batteries. Cons: Resetting: I've not figured out what the conditions are that cause this unit to reset during the charging process. It's not over heating, or power drops or the power supply, but for some reason the unit will auto reset to the default charge settings which are 500mAh. the only thing I have figured out that overrides this is to select all the bays and cycles through the modes back to charge and setting the current back to 1000mAh. Very frustrating indeed considering how much I like this unit. Fans: While I did list this as a big Pro, it is also a Con in the fact that there is a balancing problem with how these units are manufactured. The fans will try to spin up and make a hell of a noise because they are out of balance or something. This happens multiple times until finally they start to spin up without issue. I've learned to live with it, but it is something to consider if you are planning on buying this unit. Wish List: More powerful power supply unit. The PSU that comes with the device does a good job, but it is only rated at 12DC and input of 100-240V at 50/60Hz and the output is 12v DC at 3.0A, which seems odd that it can charge at 4A. So IMO a more powerful PSU is needed. Personal experience: I'm building a DIY powerwall for my house, and I have 1000's of 18650 cells to process. I have 5 of these units working around the clock and other than the Con I listed regarding resetting (which only happens on the oldest unit) these babies do a great job! Bottom Line: Overall this product works as advertised, and performs perfectly on both large and small jobs. Recommendation: Damn Good Buy!

This is a great little 4 cell charger, charges cells 4.17 volts which I have confirmed with my Fluke multimeter to be correct. Does a quick internal check for resistance and a comprehensive refresh cycle, which takes forever if have to many cells. Don’t hesitate this and the Lakota are the best.

Acaba de llegarme este cargador, por todos los buenos comentarios que tiene decidí comprar este, sin embargo me llegó dañado de la LCD, algunos indicadores no encienden, por lo que procederé a hacer un cambio con la esperanza que el segundo me llegue en buen estado, por el momento solo por eso pongo 2 estrellas, con la intención de subirlo a 5 estrellas una vez probado el segundo intento

Works as expected
