If anyone wants to be a dull secret santa, hint hint ☝️
Any thoughts on the best battery charger? We have a Nitrcore pro charger. Curious if he’d like an upgrade, or if a few more packs of batteries would be enough. We do cycle through them quickly in this house.
I’ve got mostly EBL-brand batteries and 8-bay charger. They work well but the charger uses micro-USB which is kind of a bummer.
The other set I have are by PowerOwl. They also work great, and the charger (only a 4 bay) is USB-C.
Both brands are the low self-discharge Ni-MH style and can charge any combination of batteries (some chargers require them to be charged in pairs; neither of these have that limitation), so no complaints.
glizzyguzzlerIf you live near IKEA, they have a sleek ass 8 bay charger that closes shut and attaches to a wall. And they sell eneloops (in the name of ladas) but they’re from Japan and were (and still likely are) eneloops. And eneloops are the top tier of the rechargeable batteries.
Btw thanks for asking, I’ve got many dullsters to think about
barry_budapestThe latest version of the 8-bay Xtar VC8 uses USB C and is great for NiMH, NiCd and Li-ion.
