I recently bought Eneloop batteries and looking for a charger.
Checked all comments and found Nitecore or LiitoKala are good to buy.
I'm thinking to buy a Nitecore one (D4 or UMS4) the price difference is about $20.
Is it worth to pay $20 extra for UMS4? or just go for D4? D4 is also charging fast??
Nitecore D4 or UMS4 Which One Is Good to Buy?

I lost my charger in moving home. I need to buy a charger too. But, didn’t see anything posted on OzB. Thanks for suggesting LiitoKala. Are you able to share a link for AliExpress or any other reliable sources. There are a number of listings on eBay, but difficult to know what to buy. I will be mainly using for AA and AAA.
LiitoKala lii-500 $23.53 with adapter

Might take awhile before you get the though.LiitoKala 402 simple smart charger, Usb power $20.42

LiitoKala uses USB, right? does it supply enough power to charge 4 Eneloop pro? and 18650 batties??
The lii-500 uses DC and would have enough power to charge all 4 at 500mA.
Thanks :)
Personally a fan of the XTAR range, the VC4 is not bad. I currently use the Astrolux VC04 which is USB-C powered but I would probably go the Astrolux AC04 if I bought a new one, which has an AC power cord rather than USB
Thanks for your recommendation. I will check Astrolux AC04 too.
I don't think it's worth getting ums4 if your only charging NiMH, D4 will be fine unless you really need fast turn overs, better to get another pack of eneloop as back up for $20. I have uses the LiitoKala lii-500 cost around $20 on AliExpress.
