I have Nokia batteries for my Retekess radio and I use it a lot when doing chores to listen to old time radio programs. So I have a few Nokia batteries to ensure that I have a charged one available at all times. This device works well to charge them. I, at first, thought it was not working well as it said the battery was fully charged and the Radio said 60%. It turns out it is the battery and not the charger as other batteries charge fully to 100%. This has adjustable pins for different batteries, so you need to set the pins up for the battery you are charging the first time. Not that big a deal.

Had an issue which the company took care of. Good people to work with.

It works. The USB charges my phone. Kool. I didn't know I'd have to move the connectors around though. I thought they were stationary. Well, I probably can charge other batteries too, I guess...

Not sure the indicator panel is showing correctly.

I just grabbed this bargain BL-5C battery charger because I needed to charge some of these batteries that power some radios I have. I did a double-take when it arrived because it's adjustable to fit other kinds of batteries. BL-5C batteries have three terminals, one marked plus and one minus (who knows what the other one is). I aligned the pins on the Kastar charger and it lit up, showing that my spare battery was about half charged. Maybe aligning the pins was a tiny bit tedious, but no big deal. When plugged in the charger went to work. As an added bonus there is a USB-A output on it that could power something else. I also have a radio that uses a BL-5B battery, and this charger works with that too. This is a remarkably flexible battery charger, for next to no money.

Tras dos cargas de baterías, dejó de cargar. Al ponerle un tester se observan 2.4 V de salida en lugar de los 4.2 V que deb dar. Al preguntar a Chat GPT por el motivo responde que es muy frecuente que el CHIP interno se haya dañado. que Puede ser el diodo de salida pero normalmente es el chip. Entonces sinceramente me da mucha lástima pero la calificación es de 1 estrella porque no ha durado ni un mes trabajando. La respuesta de CHAT GPT: Si tu cargador daba 4.2 V y ahora sólo 2.4 V, lo más probable no es la batería sino un fallo en el circuito del cargador: el propio chip de carga puede estar dañado, o bien un diodo/elemento en serie (o fusible) está abierto/semicado y deja caer tensión. Pero si quieres comprar un reemplazo estándar para la mayoría de cargadores pequeños BL-5C, el TP4056 es el candidato más habitual. Tristemente este artículo no tiene la calidad mínima.

Works to charge batteries, but the progress of charging indicator is useless. A fully charged battery has the same progress display as a dead one that needs a recharge. (both show 100% charge) I just stick the battery in and leave it for a few hours.

Producto llego y en perfecto funcionamiento

Works as expected

Didn't inficate full charge but battery charged
