Product Review
The Nitecore i8 Intelligent Charger is one of the best multi-slot chargers available. The i8 features Active Current Distribution (ACD) technology which distributes power among its 8 slots in an orderly manner. This allows the unit to monitor and charge slots independently and boosts the recharge speed to a blazing fast 1500mA per slot. The unit also boasts intelligent design with the inclusion of two USB outputs which allows you to charge devices like smartphones and tablets and saves room on your desktop.
The i8 also features easy to view red and green indicators giving you the ability to view the current charging status of your batteries from across the room. Red indicates charging in progress, while green will indicate charging completed. Built-in safety mechanisms will immediately alert you if the batteries are inserted with polarity reversed or short-circuited. Should this occur, the i8 will stop charging and a red indicator will rapidly blink over the affected slot.
