cheap batteries and nitecore i2 charger

[blujim]

I was looking for a decent price on batteries and nitecore intellicharger i2 and came across a company called odicforce. £8.99 for the charger plus £3.50 postage. The only drawback is its a two pin plug. Based in Surbiton, it seems to be a seller of lasers. Not sure I'm allowed to post a link. And I dont work for them! Not sure about the batteries, I was looking for Samsungs but will go to Boldvape for them.

If getting a nitecore intellicharger i2 with 2 pin plug.... either replace plug with a UK 3 pin one, or buy separately a new lead (3 pin plug to figure of 8 connector mains lead).

If going for the new lead option the Cable Warehouse is one supplier that appears to sell them.

I bought a D4 last week and the CAPTCHA code (2nd input box on page) keeps failing. Have emailed them at their info@ address, but nothing so far.

Iv'e hammered this D4 with different battery charges and so far has not had an early death. It appears to be original...but?

My only recomendation is change the lead, in the bad old days I bought a trustfire charger from China, no choice then, it came with 2 prong plug, I chopped this off to replace with UK one, honestly the wires were no thicker than my hair, and thats thin these days lol. It was promptly binned and a new lead bought from my local hardware store for something like a quid. The only plus side I can add is that if the lead is good, keep it for travel, I got great one came with camera and it serves me well in Europe for all sorts of devices without the faff of adapters.

Hi folks, I got this reply from the company today.

Hi jim,



The chargers are new but old stock- I bought a case in a couple of years ago to have some chargers to go with a night vision we were selling and there are about 8 left. As far as I can tell they are genuine, they came from a reputable distributor and I have used one myself for a couple of years with no problems, the price is low because I am stopping selling chargers and batteries.



If you get one and you have any doubts about it you are welcome to return for a full refund.



Best regards,



Jonathan

I am not sure whether to take the plunge or not. As they are a couple of years old will that be the latest style or lacking in something more desireable a more recent one has?

Thanks

Theory goes that silicone devices (chips etc) in such equipment won't fail. They will if the design slowly stresses/cooks stuff.
