what's going on YouTube Kevin Reese here today I'm bringing y'all a little review here of this
night core the new I four until a charger so as y'all can see for your viewing pleasure I have
already inserted three 18 650 batteries here and I'm letting them charge just to show you
how everything works now this battery charger will charge a bunch of different batteries so
looking on the back here they even include it on the back of the charger which is really nice
so you can flip the charger over if you had a battery that you're thinking about charging you
can see here all the different batteries of this will charge and it is compatible with several
different batteries including double a triple a C and D batteries quadruple a and then all
of those lithium-ion IMR life pío for a bunch of different battery cr123 s 18 650 s the 21700 this
thing will charge all your batteries you can see here the back of it you've got new eye for
down there at the bottom coming up here you've got a nice nightcore logo right here on the top
you've got the rubber feet here on the bottom all four corners so that the charger doesn't
slide around on a desk when you're charging it on a hard surface you've got a little 12 volt
input here at the top of the charger so that you can charge this like if you wanted to if you want
to charge this is off of a 12 volt car charger you can buy that extra adapter there but you can
charge it that way if you would prefer to don't see here the top of the charger you've got until
a Chargers new wife or you see you've got your 1.5 amps will be what you're charging that and I
had to read the directions to this y'all because it's so to understand the way it works you can
see you've got percentages a hundred percent 80 percent and 30 percent and then you have where you
can select which kind which which better you have and what voltages you want to charge that you can
manually select that and I'll show you all what that looks like in a second alright as y'all can
see a lot of information here in this instruction booklet I'm not gonna go through everything just
but kind of wanted to let y'all catch a glimpse of some of this you can pause the video and read
more if you'd like but it shows you your default charging parameters so and it tells you so at 1.5
amps like I showed you all on the charger with one battery that's what you're charging that so
the more batteries you put in you can see here your current your average current is going to
drop so with four batteries you can see how many amps you're actually pulling and it's different
with nickel metal hydride and lithium batteries so right now currently with three batteries which
are large capacity lithium batteries you would come here to that slot and you can see 0.75 amp
to 0.75 amp average current so I'm like I was showing y'all when you after you put the battery
in if you press that C button you can select the slot so once you tap the C button you get over to
the what slot you want along if you hold it down you can manually adjust the charging current and
if you hold down the V button it allows you to manually adjust the voltage come up here to this
section which I thought was pretty important you can look here so safety instructions for
lithium-ion batteries and if you look right here your charging voltage I highly suggest
that y'all read through these instructions here because you can see here with your charging
current so for all the batteries they recommend not using more than one C for charging now one
C can mean different things so for four different batteries so they're chargers automatically judge
the Chargers will their Chargers automatically judge and select the current by the battery's
length so for long but small capacity batteries and it gives examples they want you to manually
select the appropriate charging current now and that's just for those batteries I don't have any
of those specific batteries the majority of batteries that I use high-capacity lithium
ions are 18 650s they're they're pretty standard in most in most lights those are the ones that
I keep the most of and use the most and it shows here what 1c is and then the C is the capacity of
a battery so for example 1c and a 2600 milliamp rechargeable lithium battery is 2.6 amps once
seeing a thirty four hundred million rechargeable lithium battery is three point four amps so as you
can see here with these these batteries here from 4.2 volt lithium-ion batteries are the
most common so it says the skins are often marked with three point six volt and three point seven
volt signs which all of mine I'll show you all in a second have those markings so here I have
this Phoenix battery 3500 milliamp 18 650 you can see it's marked with three point six volts
you look here at this other Phoenix battery 3,500 milliamp three point 6 volts and I also have this
micro USB rechargeable Streamlight batteries of 2600 milliamp 3.7 volts so three point six
volt three point seven volt if I go come here and select current you know I can select what battery
it's on and if you look they're all charging at four point two volts you can see the four point
two right here as well as right here but come in and press and remember if I cycle through these
I can change that I can hold it down and that will prioritize that this specific battery to
use the most juice in charge at one point five amp I've selected again hold it to turn turn that off
I remember when you want to select here I can go through my current and I can and I can hold down
the V and it will cycle through how much volts I want to charge it and remember 4.2 is our standard
and it automatically kicks in at that at that voltage you can see currently by the status here
my Streamlight battery and the way it works it starts from left to right so it's going to start
this side here 1.5 amp and remember each one you go it's going to drop down the amperage depending
on how many batteries but this is like your priority slot it's going to charge the most @ and
it works its way across so you can see this ones that are almost a hundred percent which will be
followed by I'll show you all in a second this one will reach a hundred percent this one reach
one hundred percent last I want you all to see this so when charging three batteries of large
capacities which is what I'm doing now the battery in the second slot will be charged at 0.75 amps
whilst the other two batteries will be charged at 0.375 a.m. each when charging three batteries of
small capacities the battery in the second slot will be charged at 0.5 amps whilst the other two
batters will be charged at 0.375 amps each and I wanted to also show you all this this active
current distribution so this is what allows the new charger to distribute all its power between
the slots in an orderly manner so it's so when it gives you an example here when one or more
batteries are set to be charged at an accelerated rate of 1.5 amps and remember I showed how to do
that so the charger will charge the batteries that are set to be charged at 1.5 amps from left
to right when the battery when the first battery charging at 1.5 amps is almost fully charged and
inner CV charging the charge will divert a portion of its current to charge the other
batteries that are be charged at default setting then proceeded to charge the second battery that
are set to be charged at 1.5 amps when the first one gets fully charged when all batteries that
are set to charge a 1.5 mm are fully charged the charger will begin to charge the other remaining
batteries at its default setting when one only one battery of a large capacity is placed in the
charger the charger will charge at 1.5 amps by default all right so if you come back down here
you can see now 100% on the first battery that Streamlight 2600 milliamp and if you look right
over here you're we're bumping up on 100% on the center battery we're still about 80% on the one
on the far right though as I was saying before it kind of goes from left to right and so with
two batteries now charged your amperage is going to go up so they're going to start charging faster
and faster and I'd like to mention also that this charger charges these batteries a lot faster than
say the feature that this one has which I'll go ahead since it's fully charged will pop this and
out so take this one out now it is micro USB rechargeable but even at that this charger
is going to always charge faster than a micro USB will or either a USB type-c charger so you really
can't beat this charger here and the fact that you can put four batteries in different kinds at
the same time and it will actively distribute the current to what it needs to be for each battery is
just awesome and it's not very expensive I think I paid less than 25 bucks for the charger alright so
as y'all can see here this is what I wanted to demonstrate to you this look this battery here
has charged to 100% so as you can see the when that red light comes on you've got your 1.5 amp
so this one now since this one is full it would be the same thing I thought left the other one in is
only charging this battery it can is trickling it can trickle charge these batteries but it
is charging this battery at 1.5 amps so it is giving it all the power but give you an example
what this would look like if it was full and I had a battery here here here and here if we
were on to this one and all three had charged and finally got to the last one that one would
have the red light the 1.5 amps now you can change that I could change that if I wanted by going here
and putting 1.5 amps here if I wanted to charge this one or that one or if I wanted to go to the
end and charge the last one at 1.5 amps I could manually do that all right and as y'all can see
there you go hundred percent on each battery and that's what it'll look like and it'll stay like
that triple charged keep them hot and fresh so pretty much y'all overall nice little charger I
hope y'all have liked this video if you've been looking this charger I hope that I have given
you some valuable information and helps you out if you like it go ahead hit that like button for
