Referee gets USD $24 in coupons. Referrer gets USD $5 coupon per referral.
Mucked around with some of the in-app games and got another dollar off ($10 delivered). Thanks OP
Good price it's a good product I am using mine since many years 😃 . I think In my personal opinion it's one of the best for battery chargers
Yup got myself a XTAR VC4 Charger years ago when i got my eneloops. Never had any issues with it
I have also heard good things about this charger when I was doing some research. "Banggood.com" may be the cheapest place to buy?
yeah I got mine from banggood in 2016 for $61
but now you can get the VC4S with QC3.0 Fast charging for around the same price, it seems.
I would look around and see I'm not sure where cheapest would be or if there's better ones now from other brands.
But I was looking for the multi battery setup at the time due to INR18650 batterys for the torch I got too (Astrolux S1) , though now I'd probably get one with 9v as well for smoke alarms and stuff.
if you're looking at upping your torches/led gear/battery chargers/batteries highly recommend candlepowerforums

Looks like VC4L is the USB C upgrade with more capabilities (roughly around NZD~$36.00 with coupons)

USB-C is nice.
How does this compare to the original sony chargers?
Post the model of the charger and someone might know.
I have Sony BCG-34HH 4-Cell Cycle Energy charger. Atleast 5+ years old. Can't find a line online, so most likely not widely available.
I've had a liitoKala for years and they are great, wouldn't mind one of their 8 bay chargers that do 9v batteries.
The powerpacks (12v 2a) can oftern be found of other tech appliances like drive caddies, routers, etc
So are you all using these with the USB? Coz it's dangerous to use stuff with foreign wall plugs and adapters. And illegal to sell them within New Zealand.
I assume most people, like myself have a few spare usb chargers and so just went for the model with the included usb cable.
The one you linked looks better. It has 3 usb inputs (usb c, micro usb and lightening) and has a digital display that shows battery capacity, charging current and voltage.
The Liitokala Lii-402 is a cheap, reliable no frills charger.
Free gift for new user with $2 allowance on Banggood seems like a good deal to me.
Some of the free gifts are almost equal or higher value than the charger itself.
Thanks, just ordered one. USD 4.01 with new user bonus.
yeah, ordered yesterday for that price. Not sure why it was $3.10 off instead of just $3 off, kept making me think I'd bought the wrong type.
Just arrived. Ordered July 4.
If anyone missed this and is keen (like I was), I just bought it for $9.78 shipped from Banggood with coupon BGJH12.
If you have rechargable batteries, do yourself a favour and get a good charger like this. Liitokala is a good brand. I went through several chargers (the kind you buy with a pack of batteries from the supermarket and the batteries never lasted. I have the 4-cell version of this and it's very good.
