Thanks so much for the coupon code. I bought the SC2, to replace my old i2 that had a bad channel. I must have bad luck with these, because the new SC2 also had one channel that did not work, and the C/V buttons did not work. I could not change the charge rate or voltage. Also I could not believe the charge info was on a peel off sticker. So I am ordering this charger, due to the great review. Thank you.
Lol, I started out looking at 2 cell chargers for $12, somehow ended up here. I was having a hard time discerning differences between "i", "D" and other models when I ran across this. Bought it, the coupon worked fine.
Been using the Nitecore D4 for a long time, they make good chargers. Maybe not the best but good for the price. The USB out with good 2A output is nice to include. Recovery mode is nice too, especially with some of the more recent high powered lights that require unprotected cells for max brightness. Great review Fred
i really like xtar and other chargers that tell you the mah the batteries get put into them, helps be able to tell when your batteries are wearing out.
I have read many reviews on this charger. And love the up to 6 amp charging. 3 amp in first 2 amp in the other 3. I only have one question will it charge 4 26650 batteries at the same time? Thank you..
If you only want to charge 18 mm batteries then you don't want a charger wide and deep enough to charge a 26 mm battery, like me for example. Is there a smaller version? extra size is a huge negative for me.
I do not see the 21700 listed as a compatible battery with Nitecore however batteryjunction says that it does: www.batteryjunction.com/nitecore-sc4-smart-charger.html
HELLO PLEASE. I HAVE A QUESTION; I bought this product . when I plug it into electricity an annoying voice coming inside the machine then if I plug my mobile phone with usb cable voice dissapearing. Is it normal or no ?
Do you hear any voice from inside of the machine it is exactly time interval between 02:15 and 02:39 in the video. Between plug it into electricity and adding a battery on it.
@@GearObsession I recored the sound. you can download and listen (please make your PC sound maximum to hear clear) from this link on We Transfer: wetransfer.com/downloads/753849068ce3e38a5ad602145778b5f420190903112811/bc5dbb7b4067c037ea46a0ec375227cc20190903112811/c933e6
This will not recharge non-rechargeable batteries -- it was a rechargeable nimh AA battery he used in the video. there are multiple factors that make trying to recharge a non-rechargeable battery unsafe.
Dean Conn Do not attempt to recharge "regular" alkaline batteries. This charger is smart enough to detect that they are not rechargeable and will show an error. It will recharge the rechargeable NiMH AA and AAA batteries.

Thanks Fred! I just just ordered mine and can't wait to make it my main charger for everything!

Great point. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!!
Even though I don't have any devices (yet) that use 18650's, for a nitecore charger that price is hard to beat. Thanks Fred!
Thank you for this review. Can you please clarify if the SC4 sits above or below the D4?
Thank you.
Can this device be power via a solar panel, using the 'USB' port, Fred? 4:29
Thank's for the code, just ordered it and got a great discount at Gearbest
Very nice... Great review as always. And thanks for the coupon!
Thanks mate, just picked one up.
Cool. I found out today. What it does mean poor for that yellow battery ? It mean battery is not good to use and time to dispose battery ? Thanks

It looks good, better than the D4 but not as good as the XTAR Dragon VP4 which has more functions. Thanks for the review.
Thats like saying Ford fiesta is good, but not as good as BMW 3 Series... Its almost 3 times cheaper, so that comparison is silly.
Thank God I paused the video of the side box, it does not charge 21700 batteries?! Tsk, that is too bad!
How do you know which information is for what channel battery ? I don't see any indicator ?
Thanks Fred!
Wonder if a 21700 would fit?
I do not see the 21700 listed as a compatible battery with Nitecore however batteryjunction says that it does: www.batteryjunction.com/nitecore-sc4-smart-charger.html
Gearbest lists the 21700 battery is compatible too.
The 21700 fits in the New i2, New i4, and the digital i4 by Nitecore. Have not tried this one
Man -- I wish it could take 4 26650's at one time still looking for one that will do that...

Not normal.
@@GearObsession Is your machine silent while pluged to electricity without any battery (all slots are empty) ? No voice coming?

What flashlight did you get the 26650 for?
Will this charge 20700 and 21700?
Does it charge regular AA or AAA Batterys. Is this charger only charge rechargeable Batterys only?
AA - AAA = Yes 1:48
