Didnt come here to judge your beard. Came here for the spin on the chargers and the batteries... and I found a great video which explained it well. Ya sold one over here and thats the meat of the issue.
I would like you - especially you - as the official Nitecore channel to talk more about the technology and why I should upgrade from a D4 or an SC4. Is there even a difference under the hood, other than a lesser display and the USB charging? Thanks.
5:12 exactly, that's why i buy Nightcore. Every year I save 2 cents because my 21700 charger has overcharging protection, and in 900 years I'll have saved enough to buy my kid Ramen.
Will there be versions with LCD display and selectable charge current? Would love to see updated UMS2/4 with USB-C. Micro USB is really a weak point on those as they tend to break off the PCB.
question... i received a dual slot charger with my Cloud Defensive WL ... it has a USB cable... is it safe to use a iphone fast charging brick with it?.. will it charge faster or damage it?
Yes i Series batteries can be charged in the Ci4/Ci2. However, because of the design of the i series batteries, they are a bit finicky and you have to put them in the slot charger and then kinda "roll + twist" it to get the angle right to make the contacts stick.
Mine starts to charge, red light turns on, the green blinks then it's like it shuts off, all lights turn off, then all 4 banks light up all lights and the process repeats itself.. what's going on?
Hi, so you can not change the charge rate with these ones? It will just automatically fast charge all batteries that are rated over 1000mah?i am looking for one where i can change the rate as i do not want to fast charge the batteries every time. I have the sc4 but are looking for a replacement because of the sc4 coil whine ( have to unplug the cord every time after batteries done charging because the coil whine is very significant) does this ci4 also suffer from coil whine? Usb c type connector seems nice, but the wall outlet needs to be bought separately.. should have been included but thats my opinion. This creates a possibility for people using all types of qualities of wall outlets and probably is not the safest thing if people are charging 4 big batteries with an unknown make wall outlet.
Is there a nitecore charger with discharging ability, to store batteries for a longer period of time? I was very fond of the sc4 but i need that feature in particular. So i had to take compromises elsewhere :/ Maybe you can talk to your developer friends at nitecore ;)
So as I am using my Ci4, after I put my battery on the charger it starts to blink red steadily, then turns off after about the third blink of the red light. I am confused because this is happening to two of my batteries, one of them being brand new out of the box. I hope my nitecore isn't broken 😅
What is the charging current used for small batteries like 14500 and 16340? The manual suggests the lowest charging current is 1000 mA. My 14500 cell has a recommended charge rate of 250-500 mA. Can you confirm this?
I bought this one ONLY so I can charge my 14500 battery for my Wurkkos TS10. But it doesn't work 😑 I can charge every single battery type with this charger, EXCEPT for the only battery I need to charge... It says it's compatible with 14500, but nothing happens when I put a 14500 battery in it. 18650, 21700 and every other battery stated in the manual works.
If someone will provide me with ANY types/styles of rechargable batteries I can discharge , recharge, discharge and USE for a few hours-at-a-time before needing to recharge again, with the 30,000-to-50,000 rate-of-cycles our presenter mentions, I will pay a minimum of $20 for each 'AAA' or 'AA', $30 for each 'C' and about $45 for 'D' size battery. Regarding batteries for our flashlights that take Li-ion batteries and such, we can talk about those later. They just MUST be able to be charged for this fictatious 30-to-50 THOUSAND times. 🙂 For ME, a full cycle is down to no less than about 20% charge, then SLOW charge (NEVER fast charge your batteries, people!!!) up to about 90-to-95% full. FAST charging is a good way to kill batteries_ NOT GOOD for them. NO SUCH CONSUMER BATTERY EXIST. Military ...? I can't say as I was 'forced' sign a non-disclosure regarding what I was made aware of regarding electronics. Oh! And we are EXTREMLY lucky to get anywhere close to 60% of whatever the stated amount of recycles are claimed by battery manufactrurers. It is very difficult to maintain your batteries between 20% and no more than 90% charge rate. HINT_ using a charger with a MAINTENANCE setting is the best way to go, if batteries are not to be used frequently.
I apologize, I had no idea my beard was so unkempt...will be visiting barber soon. 😖 Visit Nitecore Store for the Ci2 and Ci4 compatibility guide!
Take a trip to England and see Barber Turko for a good shave.

Can charge NL2150HPi?
UMS4 vs Ci4, which one should I get? Any advantages of one?
Great and informative video! I just purchased a 2 slot charger and was wondering what the red light meant. I thought my battery was bad or something.

I love Nitecore flashlight ..and using it
Straight to the meat of the matter and made a sale. Great video, thanks for the info.
Do they offer slow mode, maintenance charge or tinder keep charge if left in long time? 26650 size as well fit 2x2 in the 4 slot?
My New i4 charger gave off a bad smell stopped working.
I hade only used it 3 times.
I'm a big fan of Nitecore and have bought at least 15 items.

I was hoping for the display panel as well.
Mines just broke off. Planning to get ci2
Mine broke today, i ordered the Ci4 for the usb-C.
Does it also charge those Nitecore NL2150HPi batteries that are used for those p-series lights?
Yes
Anyone know what it means when the green status is more quickly flashing?
was the lighting for this video provided by one of your 6000K spot flashlights? 🤔
question... i received a dual slot charger with my Cloud Defensive WL ... it has a USB cable... is it safe to use a iphone fast charging brick with it?.. will it charge faster or damage it?
5V 3A is also supported? These day almost manufacturer are release 5V 3A...
i just got one and i dont think its charging my batteries its just blinks green three times and shuts off
I have a question..and maybe I wasn't paying attention....but can I charge the 21700 battery that came with the p20ix with this charger?
Yes i Series batteries can be charged in the Ci4/Ci2. However, because of the design of the i series batteries, they are a bit finicky and you have to put them in the slot charger and then kinda "roll + twist" it to get the angle right to make the contacts stick.
@@NitecoreStore thanks so much, i really appreciate the info. 😊
will this work with a usbC to usbC cable/wallcharger?
i want to know that as well.
Mine starts to charge, red light turns on, the green blinks then it's like it shuts off, all lights turn off, then all 4 banks light up all lights and the process repeats itself.. what's going on?

Is the Ci2 & Ci4 smart enough to charge Nitecore batteries and not other brands?
negative. It is not agnostic.
Is there a nitecore charger with discharging ability, to store batteries for a longer period of time?
I was very fond of the sc4 but i need that feature in particular. So i had to take compromises elsewhere :/
Maybe you can talk to your developer friends at nitecore ;)
I will tell them, that is a sorely underappreciated feature.
So as I am using my Ci4, after I put my battery on the charger it starts to blink red steadily, then turns off after about the third blink of the red light. I am confused because this is happening to two of my batteries, one of them being brand new out of the box. I hope my nitecore isn't broken 😅
Same here any help i need some
@@mattymccue9731 I can’t even lie, I never figured it out, it just kinda went back to working normal 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😅

I think it might just be 1000mAh. I will need to double check.
@@NitecoreStore Maybe double check before answering the question...
Do you guys ship to the Philippines?
Unfortunately we do not ship overseas, I would try Nitecore Singapore they are the closest that I know of.
this guys creepy, but great charger 🤔
can i charge fenix battery with this charger ?
it is not agnostic

I’m pretty sure Kelly should make some videos! 👍🏼😬👍🏼
good day,. which charger is the lastest model, Ci4 or UMS4
The Ci4 I believe!
@@NitecoreStore which is BETTER BUY the Ci4 or UMS4, TY
Good morning, I'm a little confused, which charger is better, the UMS2 series or the CI2 ? Thank you
CI2, it is newer and has been upgraded to USB-C so you more power and faster charging.
@@NitecoreStore does usb c mounted strong on the pcb?
Is it suitable for LifePo4 10440 battery?
Its probably too powerful for it and cant be adjusted.
L-5.83" = cm ????
😅 I mistyped...thank you for keeping me on my toes...
