Once I was ready I plugged the charger into the socket and the LCD came do life with a blue light and the words Uniross where displayed on screen. I popped in my drained Uniross 2500Ma Ni-mAh rechargeable batteries and it started charging, then noise start to come from the charger, it has a fan in the charger which blows out of the air holes on the top :shock:.

About 15mins later the battery had charged and the charger was in trickle mode, what Uniross call Maintenance charge which is used to maintain the maximum energy level this continues for about 30 - 45 minutes after which the battery is fully charged, I've made a little video.PROS:b>

I had d chance to use a friend's set and noticed that when he loaded the batteries onto the compartments; d jackets were scratched badly.

He said that it was unavoidable as he was told when he bought it that due to the high charging current, the spring loader at the top must be very tight and so when loading onto the compartment, the bottom of the jacket will be scratched. The batteries were very hot even with the fan. It will be worst than putting your batteries under the Summer hot sun on your dashboard.

Believe that only the special light blue 15min batteries (2100mAh only) will be charged in 15min but any normal rechargeable ones will take about 60mins or so depending on the original charge status. It CANNOT charge Ni-Cd.

The instruction says that you can load when powered, I was wondering would you want to have your fingers between 12V at 6500mAh contacts?

The very reason we professional want to use fast charging is that we need the batteries for professional use. The 2100mAh batteries were low entry level and not suitable for our use.

This one is for something about VIDPRO 1hr charger with 2700mAh batteries at US$29.85!!!

As I asked my friend, this Uniross charger will not be able to charge 2600mAh above as the safety timer will cut off so you will not get max power from these new batteries.

Therefore I am not sure if it is really worth that price......just a thought after experiencing the product for trial.

I was quite confused after reading some forum and visiting some websites. I found there are many China manufacturers offering chargers which appear similar to their range on websites.

http://www.vanson.com.hk/index.html

This website showed products of the CR-V3 and Mini plug-in.

http://www.eastbloom.com.hk/cframe.html

This website showed products of the small travel charger.

http://www.everfast.com.hk/catalog/battery...rs-c-23_34.html

This website showed products of the compact charger.

http://www.everfast.com.hk/catalog/15-minu...a-aaa-p-79.html

This website showed products of the 15min charger.

Please have a visit to these websites and compare.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
