Which Charger?

kdouglas

Ok, so this may sound like a bit of a newb thread, but it's not... i swear

anyway, i have the good old tlp 4000 charger, but it only charges 4-8 cells (max battery voltage 9.6), im gonna need something a bit bigger soon for a little project i have in mind, and im gonna need a charger that can handle the higher voltage batteries, anyone know anything about the 3 chargers below?

im currently leaning towards the tlp one because ive used them before and they seem decent enough.

Just a quick point:
"Battery Option Limited (BOL) was established in 1993 in Hong Kong as a manufacturer of laptop computer batteries for IBM, Toshiba, Compaq..etc. "

So BOL would seem to know what they're doing.

fair point alright, i think im starting to lean back towards the BOL one, its also cheaper than the TLP

TLP-15 is a fantastic charger, I have one myself. Work's great and does 12V's fine

Well my 4000c works cept now the fast light flickers even though it aint ment to. Seems to charge alright though.

i have the 4000 already, it's not capable of charging anything above a 9.6, ill be going bigger than that, which is why i need a new charger, read the OP

Sorry, was unclear, was posting to prove the efectiveness of TLP and that you can probably rely on them. No problems I can find cept the beeping:D

Car battery chargers might be a good option.

kdouglas

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.... the beeping... that bloody beeping!!!!

Would you sell your current charger?

kdouglas

when i get a new one i probably will, i wont have any need for it since the chargers im looking at can do anywhere from 1-15 cells (1.2 - 18v)
