Well i got my first charger ready for testing. I changed up the looks this time since i want to be able to make the NP50 and BX1 versions with the same footprint and some of the components. (so i dont have to keep materials for 3 chargers on stock) needs some charge cycles and loading unloading tests it charges 8 batteries at once all at 400mAh so a 1000mAH batteries should be done in around 3 hours +-

Well many shipped by now but i thought i make a post anyway. since i forgot. Picture is of Scott Farr's charging case. i dont have the fancy product photos i made with the Np50 yet. Technical specification Charges 8 BX1's Simultaneous. Over sized Converter that can supply up to 2.5 times the current required, to run cool and increase reliability. Matched Charging chips within 1% accuracy. (all pcb's are tested manually). 4.16-4.24 volt with a bias towards the lower end to achieve longer battery life. Swiss made gold plated spring loaded battery contacts. External power supply from a well known brand (Meanwell) Passive cooling. Ability to be fed by a DC power source between 12-48 volts DC (Cart battery or your Car, or a laptop brick) Power supply specifications Power 25 Watt Input range: 85~264 Vac Certificating: CE Cooling : Passive Protection : Short circuit Overload. Over voltage Charger specification Charge rate each slot simultaneous : ~500mA Charge end voltage accuracy: Within 1 % accuracy (all manually tested, and chips replaced if they did not meet this 1% criteria) Protection : Overheat Protection: Charger will cycle down charge current if module reaches above 65+- degrees Celsius. Reverse Polarity Protection Output over/under voltage Over current protection Short circuit protection Thermal shutdown protection Soft start Size : (HxWxL) 4.92 x 11.4 x 6.4 cm. Weight ~500 gram more info and manual can be found here : https://wrinex.com/product/wx-bx1-8/ or you could ask me of course

Small update, i send out 2 BX1 chargers one has been used allot and works fine, the second has not been used much yet. so i hope to get some info about how it works out. The small fingers that clamp the battery (different then my NP50 chargers) are still being made by hand, not ideal and takes just a bit more fidling around. i hope i can think of a nicer way of bending those fingers. besides that they work. Will be making a dozen soon !

Thank you sir glad you like them !

i know this is an old post, but i stumbled oppon.. but what molds the plastic parts ?

Hi there i hope all is fine ? First prototype of the 8 bay NP-BX1 used by Sound Devices in there A20 Mini. It still needs testing ! But at least we are closing in. This is how it looks. if you would like to place an pre order/be on my list or want to know more please mail me @ info@wrinex.com

That sounds good ! 125 shooting days sounds good to !

Hi there since my tiny company exists 1 year i thought its a good time to celebrate that with you guys that made it all possible !!! lets post it here first! Since material prices went up a lot, i had to increase the selling prices a month ago by 25 euro , but i made sure for the celebration you still have a small discount even compared with the old prices. The NP 508 8 bay charger will sell with a 10% discount and will set you back 337.50 euro Ex VAT ex shipping compared to the current price of 375 Euro + a free pig tale to be used on a cart battery. The NP 5016 16 bay charger will sell for 607.50 ex VAT ex shipping compared to 675 + a free pig tale to be used on a cart battery. For more info about the chargers you can check out www.wrinex.com or contact me by mail facebook or the message system over here. A charger can be ordered by mail info@wrinex.com or check out my website. Thank you all for your interest and support, over the year ! it was a great one !!!

Been a while, due to vacation and having to clear a house out. not much had happened from my end as well in terms of orders. but i do not take vacation so if someone still is interested in a charger feel free to contact me here or on wrinex.com have a good one and enjoy the weather, i know i do

Since the waiting list is almost gone, i had some time to make a request for a 16 bay version (several people asked for one, but i could not make one since there where so many pre orders). i still recommend 2 x 8 bay because of redundancy , but if you got many to charge, or want to have as small of a kit possible. this is it. 16 bays charging in one go. same specs as the smaller 8 bay in terms of speed. it does use a slightly more powerful power brick of course. that can also be used on the smaller one if needed. Both can be used on a cart battery as well if it is able to supply 20 watts for the 8 bay and 40 watts for the 16 bay charger. DC voltage range for the 16 bay = 12-24volt 40 watts Price is 650 Euro ex VAT ex shipping compared to 350 for the 8 bay. both can be ordered by contacting me More specs about the 8 bay can be found on www.wrinex.com (webshop part not yet up)

It has been quite the year !! And i have to thank you all for putting trust in me and my product. And i hope everyone that owns one enjoy using them (sorry about the disco in every hotel room) For the people that are still on the waiting list, my list is almost gone and i bought allot of stock for parts, so i should be able to deliver faster. i send everyone an email to wish you all happy holidays, but some might not be in my current list. So thank you once more to make this possible and enjoy the holidays! Kind regards Joppe Peelen

haha it is dwarfed by your huge case haha

Nice one thank you for the picture ! Also nice USB leads, for timecode devices ? i hope you will enjoy the charger, if you got any questions feel free to ask. Kind regards Joppe Peelen

Thank you ! i am glad you like it! it still is weird to see a thing you made on the other side of the world in use if you got any issues or questions feel free to email me call me or send a message !

Perfect !!! yeah it has a very wide range of working voltage. 12-36 so almost everything works looks great !

Send out the first 4 chargers today jees allot of paper work since my site is not up yet. i have to make all invoices manually. but happy camper anyways. feeling anxious about what they think of them and hope nothing goes wrong in shipping , even after i made a few in the past. time for a beer ! to celebrate for those that wonder, at the moment i only accept money transfer or paypal. this will change when the website is up and running

thanks m8 , ill take a look where you at and move you down a bit , i probably leave you on the spot you are when i am able to ship ill, ask if you need it or not in a hurry The pins gone be fine, its well not great but. overall it wont influence it that much. so ill just take it. and keep the price as promised. about moving the power inlet and switch is sort of a problem. the way the thing is made i cant drill holes in the top or bottom. maybe but i say maybe. i can think of somethign with an insert. since the backside that houses the inverter can be decoupled from the front charging bays, i might be able to make (if it works) 2 different backsides., but i cant prommise anything. and at the moment im a bit to bussy to look into it. but ill keep it in the back of my mind ! ur not the first one asking for such a thing. Kind regards Joppe

Small update of my chargers. not an add!! i just wanted to inform people. I am making as much components as i can (with the money and time i have). so i can hopefully reduce building times when i actually can ship them. I am waiting for my mega order (for me at least) of the swiss battery contacts, gold price sky rocketed and people seemed to horde the exact pogo pins i needed and drove the price up almost tripled. Anyhow i placed my order of 1000 pins that should be enough for all of the pre orders... The other components i buy as i go, the most expensive components i got for a small batch of 8 chargers (these components have a fast delivery, so i can order them along the way) everything that takes longer i ordered in advance. 3 august i can get my company VAT number, it was the fastest method i could chose apparently they are busy. The product photos became really nice i think , and i even like the simplicity of the website and design (not online yet). biggest problem is the payment options and shipping labels and correct invoices i can only fix after my VAT number is arranged. So worst case scenario is i have to make some invoices by hand etc to ship some. since i dont know how fast fixing these website things take. and i want to get them out as fast as i can. I still need to ask everyone on the list how much they are in a hurry, but i think this is hard to do when the website itself is not up yet. so i will ask the first 8, and might swap some people around if they agree on it. last but not least, i am verry happy i took the plunge and am stoked to actually ship out some when i can! Kind regards, Joppe Peelen

NP-50 Bulk Chargers Small update !! Well i took the plunge jeeej ! i reached my goal of 45+ chargers !! Thanks all of you for the support , the people that want to take the plunge as well as the people that already had taken it in the past and where insanely friendly to pitch them without asking !!! i am glad the people that have one, enjoy them to !! I got rid of my income yesterday so i can make and sell chargers bit scary though. anyhow, Its only legal for me to actually sell them from the beginning of august +-, but i do whatever i can money wise and time wise to make as much parts as i can before that. (photo) when i got a few ready i will go trough the list and see who wants one straight away and who is okay with waiting slightly longer. to try and keep everyone happy and get there chargers as fast as i possibly can. please do keep remember that i still make them all by hand. and even make 90% of all the parts. i hope by the end of the month i got a website, that i first use as a payment portal only to give you guys the ability to have several payment options and so i can aquire an address that cant go wrong unless you fill it in wrongly still have to think of a name for the company that i can only establish at the end of this month (any ideas >?)... its all rather packed in terms of things to do Well anyhow thanks for all the interest adn support and ill contact you individually as soon as i can !!! Kind regards, Joppe Peelen
