I've been offered a refund on the above as restocking from efest has been taking the piss, not venders fault, I only gave him money so was first in que but been 6 weeks plus now since started convo with him, and had my money few weeks.
Anyhow, he sells the efest luc v4 for £26.99, I'm struggling to find it similar price anywhere, any ideas? If I don't get refund I can continue waiting and should have in stock be end next week.. but he ain't sure.. so I'm not sure if I should just wait it out or buy elsewhere?

That's cheap! But would rather get UK, to get quicker...though waited an age already. Only reason I waited originally was because I wanted to be sure I was getting the newer version, but thinking now that's what most will be selling anyhow. Where did you get it for 30 quid? Any postage on top?

To be honest, no. Made the purchase after few beers. Should of contacted them first. Off to test it with all my batteries and if it doesn't overcharge them I'll keep it, otherwise should be able to send back.

Tested with 2x sony vtc3s, 1x efest 2000mah and 1x efest 2250mah. Weird but they all tested as 4.12-4.13volts with multimeter, still definitely not over charged...said 4.2 volts on charger for all. Maybe efest have just added a safety margin.
all were charged at 1amp, one in each bay, had a slight bit of heat, but not much. Will probably use at 0.5amp setting normally, just wanted to see how quick it would charge, and it was much quicker than my naff charger.
Round 2... gona try with torchy Panasonic 3400mah, another vtc3 and a mates random grey battery. Will use 0.5amp as the Panasonics and random grey aint high discharge...guessing that's better?

They all tested as 4.12-4.13volts with multimeter, ..... better under charge than over charge Will use 0.5amp as the Panasonics and random grey aint high discharge...guessing that's better? .... I think 0.5 is the preferred charge rate under normal conditions. I wasn't happy to take a chance on getting the 2014 version of the Efest so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Pila from C9V.

Sure your right, 0.5amps should make the batteries last longer. Might be making it up, but think I read somewhere ages ago that the version 2 luc v4 undercharges slightly so reckon it is the version 2. From searching about they seem to sell quickly so reckon the version 1s will be mostly sold everywhere. The stuff on this charger might be bit gimmicky but good to have.
Keep reading about pila, may get one at some point, saves me taking a charger to work. Off to stop using might old shit one.... well its never done anything bad but more of a unknown, only paid £6 for it.
