An excellent charger with many options that does not charge at the advertised current.

I've tried so many QC compatible chargers and so many USBc cables, but I just can't get the specified charging current. Some well-known good combinations of power supplies and cables just won't connect to the charger, and the ones that work will always stay at 5V (as tested with a power meter) and never go to 9V. Bays 1-4 maximum output power on fast charge 500 mA, regardless of the current settings, bays 5-8 maximum at 250mA charging current with the same cable, the same 4 batteries. I like…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Succinct manual

The first smoked and almost caught fire, the second was stuck.

This is my second one. The first tested and charged a dozen batteries or so before starting to smoke heavily when I started putting in a fresh load of cells. We're talking thick, swirling smoke and a strong smell of burned electronics with a slight glow behind it. I immediately unplugged and removed the batteries and the smoke stopped. I contacted the seller who processed the return promptly. I bought another one without USB charger and tried it. Same batteries and USB charger as the first one,

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some little things
