The Nitecore New i4 is a universal four-slot charger designed for users who demand intelligent battery management, broad compatibility, and reliable performance in a compact and efficient device. As an upgraded version of the original i4, the New i4 offers enhanced charging speed, smarter circuitry, and improved compatibility with a wider variety of battery chemistries. Capable of charging up to four batteries simultaneously, each slot is independently controlled by a sophisticated microprocessor that automatically identifies the battery type and selects the appropriate charging method. Whether dealing with Li-ion, IMR, LiFePO4, Ni-MH, or Ni-Cd cells, the New i4 dynamically applies the most suitable charging algorithm, including Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), or Trickle Charge, to ensure optimal and safe performance.

One of the defining features of the Nitecore New i4 is its universal compatibility. It supports an extensive range of lithium-ion cell sizes from compact formats like 10340, 10440, and 14500, all the way to high-capacity batteries such as 18650, 20700, 26650, and more. It also accommodates nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries including the commonly used AA, AAA, AAAA, C, and D cells. This wide-ranging compatibility makes the charger suitable for users with mixed battery inventories, such as flashlight enthusiasts, photographers, vapers, or professionals using various portable electronics. The New i4 simplifies battery charging by allowing different types and sizes to be charged simultaneously in any of the four slots without manual mode switching.

The charger’s intelligent circuitry also adjusts the output current based on the number of batteries being charged and their individual conditions. It offers various current outputs, such as 1.5A for a single battery, 0.75A when two batteries are inserted, 0.5A with three, and 0.375A across all four slots. This efficient distribution not only optimizes the charging time but also minimizes stress on the batteries, thus extending their lifespan. Safety remains a top priority in the Nitecore New i4’s design, with built-in reverse polarity protection to prevent damage if a battery is inserted incorrectly. Additionally, the charger automatically terminates the charging process once each battery is fully charged, preventing overcharging and overheating.

A clear and intuitive visual interface further enhances the user experience. Each slot is equipped with a three-color LED indicator that communicates charging progress. These lights shift from red to green as the charging process advances, giving a quick and easy reference at a glance. The LEDs also alert the user if an abnormal battery is detected, providing essential feedback and maintaining operational safety. Unlike many entry-level chargers, the New i4 includes automatic heat dissipation features. Its carefully designed casing allows for passive airflow and thermal regulation, which maintains safe internal temperatures even during extended or high-current charging sessions.

The charger’s input options include an AC voltage range of 100–250V, supporting worldwide operation, as well as a DC input of 9–12V at 1A, making it suitable for use with car adapters or other DC power sources. This dual-input capability makes the New i4 highly versatile and ideal for both stationary and mobile charging setups. It also carries both RoHS and CE certifications, confirming compliance with international safety and environmental standards.

With physical dimensions of 5.50 inches in length, 3.70 inches in width, and 1.50 inches in height, the Nitecore New i4 is compact enough to fit comfortably in a drawer, gear bag, or toolkit. It weighs only 7 ounces without batteries or power cords, further enhancing its portability. Despite its small size, the unit delivers robust functionality and intelligent power distribution that rivals many larger, more complex chargers. Its lightweight build and durable design ensure that it can withstand regular transport and usage in diverse environments.

Ultimately, the Nitecore New i4 is more than just a basic charger; it is a complete battery management system tailored to modern users who value safety, adaptability, and simplicity. Whether at home, in the workshop, or out in the field, the New i4 offers dependable charging for nearly every cylindrical rechargeable battery format in use today. Its ability to automatically detect battery chemistries, manage current output intelligently, and display real-time charging progress makes it an essential tool for anyone who relies on rechargeable power. From casual users to technical professionals, the New i4 delivers reliability and peace of mind in a sleek, user-friendly package.
