Older Revision of Nitecore Intellicharger I4 Review
Nitecore Intellicharger I4 ReviewThe Nitecore Intellicharger I4 is a SmartCharger for lithium ion and NiMH rechargeable batteries. But it can also charge 18650, 26650, 22650, 17670, 18490, 17500, 17335, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 10440, AA, AAA, and C size rechargeable batteries. ![]() ![]() As you can see below, it comes in a very nice package. For about $20, it also makes a great gift for gadget lovers. Content (Unboxing)The package comes with the charger, the power cord, and instruction manual (see photo below). ![]() The photo below shows the specification sticker on the bottom of the charger. ![]() The instruction manual claims that the Nitecore Intelligcharger I4 charges 1.2v rechargeable batteries at 0.75A current. It's too high for charging a single AAA battery, which is fairly low capacity, by itself. Therefore, it recommends charging AAA batteries two or four at a time. Based on that warning, it seems that the charger shares its charging current among all of the batteries that are inserted into the device. Therefore, it will likely charge a single battery cell faster than charging four battery cells at the same time. OperationAfter plugging the Nitecore Intelligcharger I4 into the AC outlet, a blue light blinks, indicating that it is receiving power (see photo below). ![]() Once the batteries are inserted, the power level of each battery is indicated as shown in the photo below. As the batteries charge, the indicators will increase in level. ![]() When the batteries are fully charged, the indicators show full charge with three LED's (see photo below). ![]() I tried charging four 18650 3.6v 2200mAh lithium ion rechargeable batteries. It took several hours, but they all successfully charged to full capacity. Related Links
