Review on Charger PATRIOT BCI-4D black by Stanisaw Augustynowi ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I needed, it's a great buy, I recommend it.

I can’t put 5, because the protection system is rather weak, namely, if you connect it to a charged battery, it’s very likely that it will burn out, my first charger failed (at the last stage of charging, I pulled out the plug and then put it back in). There is another nuance - charging will not charge batteries discharged to 2V or less. Otherwise, it is superb, although there is no real recovery mode, but it restores batteries with deep charging (checked for 2 pkb, one was discharged to 4V), the capacity was restored by at least 90% (checked by discharging with a light bulb). In general, an inexpensive and very convenient charger. There is one more "but" - the patriot's service departments are all outsourced and most of them refuse to accept this device, referring to the lack of an electronics engineer, I found only 1 in Odintsovo, but it's kind of eccentric. Therefore, buy only in your region, so that you can always hand it over to the seller under the guarantee (no orders through sdek and other courier services, only self-pickup from a local retail store). By the way, at about the same price, a similar device is sold under a different brand, so it's not difficult to find.

Pros
  • Cheap, compact, automatic, shows battery voltage
Cons
  • It is easy to break by improper operation, which is not mentioned in the instructions.
