Hot Dog Charger!

[Jaguar7777]

I was going to do a small review on the Nitecore i4, but a small issue has given me some long term reservations.


It does what it says on the box, a little cheap and cheerful, but plenty of bang for your bucks.


Then I started charging 3400Mah Batteries. Did the job okay, but the unit itself ran very hot if more than one of these was charged together. The level of heat is such that I feel the PCB might well give in eventually, getting itself a little cooked.

Brand didn't seem to make any difference, and it only runs hot charging more than one 3400 Mah battery.

The batteries themselves are remaining cool, only picking up residual heat from the charger itself. They are also fully and correctly charged every time.


I wonder if this is standard for this little beast. I suspect so as it does not appear to be faulty in any way.


Jag. (I could warm my tea on that .....)
