Bad battery charger

[fiddleshe]

I have the Miboxer battery charger and 2 of the 4 bays quit working after 2 years. I need to replace it. Any recommendations?

I've had xtar's for years, never had any problems. I would get another xtar if I had to replace them. VP2's at the moment but I would get a 4 bay next time.

Which Miboxer model do you have and do you want another charger with the same feature set?

My Efest LUC 4 is probably about 6 years old. It has been abused more than a charger should be. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another but it doesn't do 21700 batts. https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/efest-charger/products/efest-luc-v4

They do have a newer version (LUC 4 HD) that does accommodate 21700 batts but I know nothing about it. https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/efest-charger/products/efest-elite-v4

The New LUC 4 is an excellent charger. I have the older one, too, and used it constantly until getting 21700s and needing another charger. The new one has pretty much the same features as the old one. It just works and keeps working. I've had other chargers that lasted a few months and then something went wrong with them. I wouldn't trust Efest batteries, but their chargers are great.

As others have said, Effest, Xtar and Nitecore are very good chargers for the price. I own several chargers from these companies and not had any issues with them.

Just check that the model you look at accepts 21700 batteries if that's your thing.

I use a Nitcore D4, Luc 6bay and a couple of Xtar 2 and 4 bay chargers, all been working for years now.

Miboxer C4-12 is my model. I want one with the same features and able to do 21000 batteries.

Xtar Dragon VP4 Plus probably has all or most of the same features. But $65

https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/xtar-battery-chargers/products/xtar-dragon-vp4-plus

Xtar VC4S might have some features - $28

https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/xtar-battery-chargers/products/xtar-vc4s

Opus BT-C3100 might also. I have it, it's a decent charger. $40

https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/opus-charger/products/opus-btc3100-v2-2

Or you can go big $100

If you are looking for the same features just grab another C4-12...

I grabbed the Xtar VC4S. Need it now. I'm a chain vaper and go thru a lot of batteries. 2 bays barely keep up with me. I looked at their prices for Samsung 30Q. At $8.99 each no thanks.

Turns out my charger isnt bad. I had a battery in it that the wrapper was shorting out. Oh well second charger is on the way. Time to rewrap. Any recommendations for wraps on Amazon for 18650?
