The LiitoKala Lii-500S is more than just a battery charger!
The LiitoKala Lii-500S is a great battery charger, but it can do more. It can discharge batteries. It can test battery capacity and identify defective cells. It can also charge your cell phone! In this video, I unbox this device, go over the features, and do a capacity test on four 18650 lithium ion (Li-ion) cells.
CORRECTION: At 8:46, I stated that the timer showed TOTAL TIME for the test. It was actually showing the DISCHARGE time. You can toggle between discharge and recharge time & capacity by hitting the numbered buttons for each bay.
Input voltage: DC 12V/3.0A
Output voltage:DC 4.2V / DC 1.48V
Output current
Lithium battery charging current: 500mA*4 /700mA*4/1000mA *4 2000mA *2
NiMH battery charging current: 500mA*4/700mA*4 /1000mA*4
Rechargeable battery specifications: 26650,21700,18650,18350, 20650,14500, AA, AAA, etc.
Discharge current: 250mA / 500mA
USB output: 5V—-1000mA

Features
New touch control function
Different selective charge current can be for 4 independent channels with both Li-Ion and Ni-MH batteries.
500mA*4
700mA*4
1000mA *4
2000mA*2
Two discharge currents:
250mA*4
500mA*4;
It can charge most cylindrical cell types:
26650, 22650, 18650, 17670, 18490, 17500, 17335, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 14650, 10440
This product uses a separate LCD display, charge and discharge mode (MODE). Voltage (V). Current (mA). Time (h). Capacity (mAh) parameters.
DC 5V 1000mA USB power port
CHARGE, DISCHARGE, and TEST modes can work simultaneously; independently set charge/discharge capacity detection/normal capacity detection function;
A variety of protection functions: overcharge and over discharge, short circuit, temperature, 0V voltage activation function, non-charging function, intelligent identification of bad battery and reverse battery detection protection.
