It certainly claims to (if you mean 20700/21700).This charger does not charge xx700 batteries, correct?
thanks for posting this @Jazzman
i really wish i could hear it but i'm getting no sound.
i'll try on another device.
i do hope @Mooch comments.
right now i'm charging to 4.05. but i may up this to 4.1 for some batteries. my 30qs work exactly like i need, but other batteries need too many recharges, for reasons i don't understand
The only question I have now, besides if this is accurate, is how the MC3000 performs balancing and if charging to 4.2v on occasion would be advised. I just don't know and am not really qualified to test this.
Balance charging doesn't apply unless the cells are in a series string and remain so while being charged, which isn't the case when you put them in a charger that has separate bays for individual cells.The only question I have now, besides if this is accurate, is how the MC3000 performs balancing and if charging to 4.2v on occasion would be advised.

Yes, charging to a lower voltage can increase cycle life. But the number of times you need to recharge increases due to the lower capacity of the cells due to the lower charging voltage. This can counteract any gains from charging to a lower voltage. Unfortunately it takes months of testing to figure out if your method of charging and vaping would benefit from a reduced charge voltage.
There's an updated Android app for the MC3000, released the beginning of October.
Just downloaded it myself and still got to have a play with it, but this latest version is supposed to support Android 10.
@Jazzman one thing that I'd like to know is, how much of the CDR was used in testing?
I guess my question is if 3x the cycles would offset the increased number of cycles needed because of lower charge termination voltage, if the charger algorithm of when and how much voltage reduces shortly before charge termination has any effect, and if his theory of how degradation increases due to scaling build up increasing with higher voltage charges is even valid and how much effect does this have. I don't know enough about batteries to answer that, so ask the Mooch.
I believe it does. I've watched what one of the largest car manufactures in the world does with the plug-in hybrid packs. I have software capable of getting all the real-time values from the BMS. They consider that pack (a series string of 96 large-format cells) "full" at barely over 4.0V per cell. I'm sure they're leaving a bit of headroom for more charge from regenerative braking, but I've never seen cell voltages above 4.05V. They also consider them empty at somewhere between 3.55 and 3.60V. Conservative? Yes. But there's a good reason for that: The warranty on that battery is 8 years or 80,000 miles.I guess my question is if 3x the cycles would offset the increased number of cycles needed because of lower charge termination voltage, if the charger algorithm of when and how much voltage reduces shortly before charge termination has any effect, and if his theory of how degradation increases due to scaling build up increasing with higher voltage charges is even valid and how much effect does this have.

A few months after I switched from smoking to vaping, my wife said I looked 10 years younger. I felt that way too.I want rejuvenative vaping.
