Test/review of Dlyfull M8 Battery Charger
Dlyfull M8 Battery Charger
This is 8 channel charger from Dlyfull that can charge most battery types. The charger arrived in a brown cardboard box with a drawing of the charger and a list of supported batteries. The box included the charger, a 12V power supply and a manual. The charger is powered from the supplied 12V supply. The power adapter is rated for 12V 3A. The user interface contains 2 buttons and a LCD display. When a LiIon battery is put into a slot a short press on the MODE button will select voltage. Holding down MODE during operation allows selection of current, this make is a bit cumbersome to change current. SLOT is used to select battery. Holding down SLOT will restart slot with a new LiIon voltage selection. All segments Charging a LiIon battery in slot #2. Charging a NiMH battery in slot #5. The back has the usual specifications, but is rather hard to read. The connection are the common slider style that can handle from 31mm to 77.8mm, this handles all normal sizes of LiIon and NiMH cells, protected or not. There is also connectors for two 9V batteries. They do not use the display, but have a red/green led each. It shows red while charging and green at all other times. Measurements charger [index=16]
Charging LiIon 4.2V The charger has a nice CC/CV charge curve and about 100mA termination current. Display shows: 3119mAh Display shows: 3096mAh Display shows: 3066mAh Display shows: 3110mAh Display shows: 3095mAh Display shows: 3078mAh Display shows: 3212mAh All slots look similar. Display shows: 3191mAh Display shows: 2626mAh Display shows: 2853mAh Other capacities looks fine. Display shows: 2158mAh The 14500 cell also looks fine. Display shows: 1005mAh Any cell can be charged with 0.2A, but it can take a long time. Display shows: 3119mAh No problem with my old and very worn down cell. Display shows: 74mAh Increasing the current to 1A works fine. Display shows: 3168mAh 2A also works fine, the termination current is unchanged. Display shows: 2976mAh With 8 cells the maximum charge current is 0.8A Display shows: 3010mAh, 2746mAh, 2938mAh, 3062mAh, 2948mAh, 3044mAh, 3041mAh, 3084mAh And the charger can use up to 3A from 12V Display shows: 2872mAh, 2879mAh, 3061mAh, 2620mAh, 2967mAh, 2963mAh, 3077mAh, 2974mAh HS1: 52.2°C M1: 35.9°C, M2: 36.5°C, M3: 38.3°C, M4: 38.4°C, M5: 36.8°C, M6: 36.6°C, M7: 34.9°C, M8: 31.9°C, M9: 41.2°C, HS1: 43.8°C The charger needs about 10 seconds to turn on, partly because it waits for user input. A full LiIon battery will be discharged with 1.3mA when the charger is without power. Charging LiIon 4.35 Using 3.8V setting will charge to 4.35V Display shows: 2971mAh Charging LiIon 3.6V The LiFePO4 setting charges to 3.65V Display shows: 1225mAh Charging NiMH This NiMH charging looks like a voltage termination, there is a small trickle charge. Display shows: 1880mAh Display shows: 1992mAh Display shows: 2158mAh Display shows: 2127mAh Display shows: 1930mAh Display shows: 1949mAh Display shows: 2046mAh The other slots looks like -dv/dt termination Display shows: 1975mAh Display shows: 2649mAh Display shows: 2556mAh With the high capacity cells there are tow -dv/dt and one voltage termination and all batteries looks full. The AAA cell is handles nicely on 0.5A Display shows: 778mAh The charger also terminated A AA NiMH with a 0.2A charge, but was a bit slow to do it. Display shows: 2586mAh Oops, for some reason the termination do not work this time around. Using 0.2A for a AAA cell is on the low side, there is no -dv/dt signal on the charge curve. Display shows: 5696mAh Termination on a full cell can be a bit slow. Display shows: 259mAh Using 1A works fine. Display shows: 1894mAh Charging 8 cells at 1A also works fine. Display shows: 1825mAh, 1791mAh, 1841mAh, 1910mAh, 1821mAh, 1892mAh, 1854mAh, 1838mAh It uses nearly 2A peak from the 12V supply. Display shows: 1765mAh, 1763mAh, 1793mAh, 1811mAh, 1800mAh, 1835mAh, 1841mAh, 1839mAh HS1: 65.6°C M1: 34.7°C, M2: 38.2°C, M3: 39.1°C, M4: 38.0°C, M5: 37.8°C, M6: 36.8°C, M7: 34.0°C, M8: 30.7°C, HS1: 50.0°C The charger is considerable faster to start with NiMH, it do not have to wait for user input. The trickle charger is current pulses. On time is 2 seconds every 20.5 seconds with an average current of 60mA, i.e. the trickle charge current is about 6mA. This is a acceptable level. Charging 9V The current is about 30mA. The 9V also uses pulsing current and can deliver nearly 11V, current is fairly constant at any voltage. Testing with 2830 volt and 4242 volt between mains and low volt side, did not show any safety problems. Conclusion The charger works nicely charging the different battery types and has a wide selection of current available, but it is not really a super fast charger. Changing current is a bit on the slow side, especially with LiIon where you have to wait until the voltage selection times out and then hold down the button to enable current selection. I will rate it as a good charger, even though it failed on a single NiMH cell. Notes The charger was supplied by a DlyFull for review. Here is an explanation on how I did the above charge curves: How do I test a charger
