My Opus BT-C3100 smells like magic smoke and looks like this. I suppose I could change these resistors and it might be OK, but I could also buy things.
I’m looking for 2-4 slots; it should fit protected 21700s; it shouldn’t have a noisy fan that runs all the time like the Opus; USB-C input is preferred, but not required.
I’m broadly aware of what’s on the market, but I want to know if you love or hate yours.


This design has pretty poor airflow and a small, loud fan. I’m OK with a fan if it’s less obnoxious than this one. I’m also OK with a bit shorter component life; I got over ten years out of this one.
