I like my efest luc V4, being able to see what volts are in my batteries is a definite plus for me as I get through a few because use higher watts and good to check which batteries are full.

That said, it does under charge slightly, 4.13-4.14 volts, which doesn't bother me.
Others won't recommend this charger as some over charge.

I'm thinking of getting a nitecore i4 for home as seem to be good for the money from various threads I've read, or maybe a d4.

seems cheep nuff thanks is on the list

i got an i2 and thats whats gone caput and i havent mistreated it and i really dont like the springs on it (trying to get a 650 in there is harder than getting nucky off the misses lol)
ive gota fast peek charger from my rc car days (no i havent tried it ) but was wondering if there is a safe fast charger out there yet for vape batts

I've just bought a nitecore i4 cause my Efest Luc was only working on one side so I kept running out of charged batteries. So far I'm very pleased with my new purchase. I think the 4 ports will be really handy

Only 4months?
Once you get something to tide you over, I'd be contacting the supplier for a replacement!

I love my i4, and if and when I need to replace it, I think I'll be going for a d4.

Go 4 bay. If you only want to charge 2, you can. But you can never charge 4 in a 2 bay.
(+ i2 charges at 500ma. i4 charges 2 at 750ma!)

something dont add up on that pic
the in put for the charger is 1 amp yet it says it can charge 2 batts at 2 amp
im confuzzled O_owere do they find the free power

[fred]

What is the input voltage?

And I don't think it would be safe to charge a battery at 2a. ronaldo????

i got it from a local shop ill pop in before work and see what he says
if he swaps it yay but i dont want to be stuck without a charger again so gona get a new one no matter what

[fred]

If there is a problem, the “sale of goods act“ is your friend.

It can reasonably be expected for a charger to last more than 4 months!

Power = watts = volts x amps

Input = 12 x 1 = 12w
Output = 4.2 x 2 = 8.4w

Don't quote me but I'm sure Nitecore's chargers carry a 12 month warranty. So exchange or refund from the vendor is a good start.

My D4 does, but I bought it direct from AJC (Nitecore UK)

[fred]

Even if charging at 2a is safe, surely it will put a lot more stress on the battery than charging at 0.5a or 0.75a?

slaps head its late lol
i used to charge my race packs at 4 amp but they were a 7 cell job
boy im glad i dont have bright idea,s 

as for the vendor i cant see a swap being a prob but still tis time to get a better charger

Don't want you to be stuck without a charger but as has been said above yours should still be under warranty.
Hope you get it swapped for a new one at the shop.
