Nitecore i8 – 8 Bay Universal Battery Charger

The Nitecore i8 multi-slot universal battery charger is one of the best chargers available. The Nitecore i8 features Active Current Distribution (ACD) technology which distributes power among its 8 slots in an orderly manner and allows the unit to monitor and charge 8 battery slots independently. The i8 also boasts intelligent design with the inclusion of two USB output ports which allows the option to charge devices like smartphones and tablets, saving you room on your desktop.

The i8 also features easy to view red and green indicators which gives you the added bonus of being able 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.
