Nitecore i4 charge. in what slot to use? 1,2 3 4

[Kieran Woodward]

I'm not sure why but 2 always charges faster than other slots. I charge mine in either 1,3 or 4. Using 2 only if I need to charge 4 batteries.

i have the Nitecore Q4 and use slots 1+4 when charging 2 batteries for charging at top speed @ 2A

Probably has two charging circuits.
One for slot 1+2
One for slot 3+4

So it makes sense to put one cell on each circuit to make both work evenly


Just a thought, I may be wrong.

Good evening! A simple question.. i have a Nitecore i4 charger
And It has 4 battery slots, i have always used slot 1 & 2 when charging my 2x 18650 batteries for tha last 7 months. But i checked the website of the store atm and on their page it says always charge in slot 1 & 3 or use 3 & 4,

maybe some of you guys know why? Im confused.. i have always tought it should be in 1&2

The charger does not cjarge e

Does it matter? Maybe it's something to do with balancing the charge more efficiently?

I wouldn't stress though. I'm sure it's not doing any harm

Yes it does. The charger does not charge each battery separately. It charges them in 2s. Putting batteries in slot 1 and 3 ensures each batterery is monitored and charged independently.

Fill it up with batteries. Take them out when charged.
