  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Quad Charger and REDVOLT XL...In stock now shipping

Thanks Brent.

Ok, I have to disclaim my (lack of) knowledge on the simultaneous charging question. I just had an engineer call it "dynamic charging". I think, by his explanation, it charges all at same time - but when multiple batteries are in there, it puts more charging resources to the batteries with most remaining power on them so you get full batteries quicker. I hope that makes sense. And I know Jarred will correct me if I am way off base, haha.

Now I understand what it's like to be addicted to RED stuff. Ordered 2 XLs and a charger. So glad I scored the Quad Battery module a couple weeks ago. Can't wait!

Can we get a little more clarification on this? If we put 4 completely drained Redvolts in the charger at the same time, how long will it take to charge? 2 hours for all, or 8 hours, or some other amount of time? I'm trying to determine if it might actually be more beneficial to keep the 4 travel chargers I already have or to get the quad charger, of course excluding the single power plug vs 4 factor.

Also, we're going to get cases made for everything next week, likely before the quad charger would get delivered, so is it possible to provide dimensions? Thanks!
 
The Quad Charger charges each Redvolt with the same amount of Volts as the Travel Charger ( 1.75 Amps ) . You can't charge with any more amps without getting into a heat situation and lowering the life of the cells... the circuits in the Redvolts protect against it.

This happens all at the same time on the Quad Charger... 1.75Amps max to each cell at the same time. As the Cells near full.. the amps go down on that "slot" and that slot alone.. the rest stay at 1.75 amps. That is what Brent is trying to state.

Does that clear it up?

Edited my earlier post to direct people to this post for more clarity.

I think so. Sounds like it is simultaneous then. That's good. Order placed.

EDIT: Did the description on the store site change? I could have sworn it didn't say simultaneous or dynamic before when I first looked at it and now it does. That's why I was confused.

It just goes to show that when we launch a product, see what FAQ's you guys post on REDuser, then we address on that product's page :)

Thanks for being so quick to address our questions. Few companies do that.

Which seems so backwards. And is a shame. We are fully aware that you guys are going to have feedback and questions that we sometimes do not predict. So we listen.

About 2 hours as described on the product page.

I'm interested in knowing exactly how long it takes to charge 4 Redvolts from dead to completely full. Whoever gets theirs first, please test and post results. Thanks!

wait wait wait.... this has to be a scam..... ahead of schedule AND not in backorder???


woot:-P
