As you may know, the RD6006, 6012, and 6018 power supplies support WiFi connectivity when the corresponding module is installed. However, the settings menu and software also include an RS485 option, indicating that this communication interface can be used as well. Not long ago, RD RIDEN added RS485 modules specifically for these power supply models to its store.

Just under four months ago, I published a review of RuiDeng's new RD6012 converter. Now I have the next model in this lineup in my hands: the RD6018, with an output voltage of up to 60 V and a current of up to 18 A. This review will be relatively short, but I'll still try to make it as informative as possible.

Those who read my battery reviews have probably noticed that almost none of my tests go by without a "conditioning" cycle, which I run using a relatively simple charger. I reviewed it more than 5 years ago, and it served me faithfully all that time. But I think it's time to replace it with something more convenient and powerful, so today I'll be talking about the Vapcell S4 plus charger.

I’ve been a bit under the weather, which is why there haven’t been any new reviews. But I did find time to browse AliExpress, and today I’d like to share some interesting and potentially useful products—or, more precisely, links to them.
