Nitecore i4 V2 VS Efest Luc V4

[Jordner]

I've been searching for a comparison between these two chargers on the forums but I haven't been able to find one. So, I figured I'd ask
What are the pros and cons or each charger? and ultimately which one is better?

(I really hope the Efest wins )

I had the same questions as you, but ended up going with a Nitecore. From what I've gathered, the LUC has a digital display which moniters the actual voltage and charge rate of the batteries, it has manual charge current settings, is newer to the market and is more expensive. Nitecore has been on the market for quite some time and has earned a solid reputation. I love my Nitecore, it charges fast and is self adjusting as far as the charge type and rate of the batteries being charged.

Both of them run an initial test on the batteries before the charge begins to make sure they are in good working order before they start charging, and both start with a heavy charge rate and taper down close to battery capacity, and then trickle charge when the battery is close to and at capacity to maintain 4.2 volts. Can't go wrong with either or.

I was kinda thinking the same thing! great minds think alike

Thank you, that just confirmed my purchase of the nitecore, and it fits nicely inside of my goliath stand

Vape happy

I have a N-i4 and it is very good. At first, someone gave me their cheapo one that they started with. He then got a N-i4. Everyone seems to appreciate them, and so do I.
