ETA on Multi Battery Charger?

[newb]

I can only charge 2 at a time atm and have 6 batts that I use in my rotation.. It gets annoying when they die out and the others are dead and two are charging and my PT isnt available to use...

I know, I can get adapters and buy a 510 multi charger from another vendor but I am sure the other vendors dont have as good as a warranty as this company has...

That said, LEAFORDDDD..... any updates?

All I can say now is that we have two irons in the fire on this one, so it's in development, but there's still no ETA.

 

[newb]

That was fast... Thanks

Awesome!! Can I ask what you are using to power the chargers?

 

[lonercom]

It's a 7 port USB Hub.

I actually have 3 attached to my laptop. You will notice the small green LEDs but what you may not see are the on/off switches behind them. This allows me to turn off the device until needed. That little button has dramatically sped up my system's boot process.

For this hub, I don't attach it to the laptop. It's strictly 110 volt.

I bought them for $20.00 each without the Micro USP Power cord from these guys. I bought the Power Bricks from Verizon Wireless.

We just got samples today of 6, 12, and 24 battery chargers! The 6 battery version includes two USB ports! We've just unboxed them and are testing now. If they test out good it will probably take another month before they can go into full production. No idea about prices yet.

I will ask Steve if I can post some pics.

Sweet. I'll be buying a 6 when they come out. But 24? Seriously? That's hardcore.

And oh yeah, might as well ask for a VK1 update while I'm here. Not that I expect a lot of success with that request...

 

[Adrenalynn]

Not for certain venues where it may take at least four or five that size to satisfy the requirements.

It will be great when I don't have batteries charging all over the house.

I'll be getting the 24.

Regrettably, the VK1 has been back burnered, first because of Chinese New Year, and then because we decided to focus on developing multi-battery chargers and our own 5v battery. We hope to get back to working on it, maybe when I return to China in a week or two.

Thanks for the info! I really like the option to turn off unneeded devices on that hub.

Any chance these will hit before the Memorial Day sale ends?

 

[leaford]

No. No chance at all.

 

[uzzaperez]

Thread revival! Can we have a multi-charger yet?

Just because Bigfoot is the only guy in the world that has a VK1 shouldn't mean we can't all have chargers that can handle multiple batteries. No?

I'm using the Joye 510 10-port, with 5 of the ports with 510>808 adaptors. It works perfectly. The two adaptors on the left are for ego batteries, then three for 510, then 5 808s. It also has 10 slots at the back that you can use for charged batteries or cartos.

Don't you have the issue of "losing" the adaptor down in the hole?

Not sure weather this is related but thought I should warn you anyway. When I double clicked on the charger image I ended up with a nasty Malware Virus called Fake Alert which hijacks your system. Had to boot in safe mode and after an hour manged to remove with Malwarebytes. May not have anything to do with the image but it happened right after clicking on the image so be aware.
