The Item in My Kit

I bought Lenoya Four-Port Tool Battery Charger as part of my camper van equipment.

The Lenoya charger is one of my purchased workshop accessories. My patio-workshop diary records gathering tools and preparing a temporary work area before measuring, cutting and assembling the drawer frame.

Comparing Four Docks with Single-Slot Chargers

  1. I planned the storage assembly and simulated the roof dimensions on the patio.
  2. I built the timber drawer frame and base, then cut the rubber lining with scissors.
  3. I fitted the lining with adhesive, screws and washers before attaching the slides to the drawer and cabinet.

Camper Van Project Applications

A multi-port charger saves space only if it reliably charges the packs being used. The supported battery families, indicator behavior and charger power supply are important parts of that comparison. Steven's move back to his single DEWALT chargers provides the practical outcome of this purchase.

The retailer record carrying my original Lenoya purchase ASIN describes a four-port DCB104 replacement charger with three-amp charging per port, dual USB outputs and LED status indicators. Those features group several battery docks and device connections in one housing. My experience was that charging behavior was unreliable, so I returned to my two single DEWALT chargers. The current Amazon option below has a separate listing.

The current black-and-orange Lenoya option has its own Amazon listing, separate from my earlier purchase. Its listing describes four ports that can charge together, three amps per port and two USB outputs. That arrangement combines tool-pack charging and small-device connections in one station. For a van tool kit, the practical comparison is how many packs need charging together and how much space the station takes. My experience with the earlier charger remains below; I went back to my two single DEWALT chargers.

My Experience with This Tool

I bought this inexpensive charger for my DEWALT batteries, but I have not found it reliable. Sometimes it will not charge a battery, especially one of the less expensive replacement batteries I tried.

At other times it indicates that a battery is fully charged and stops charging, while the indicator on the battery itself still shows less than a full charge. Because of those inconsistent results, I now use the two single DEWALT chargers I have instead.

My Takeaway from This Job

The patio work began with gathering the tool kit around the next assembly. Lenoya groups four battery docks in one housing; both DEWALT alternatives have one slot, with DCB118 adding a fan-cooled format, so dock count and housing arrangement are separate choices.

Two Alternatives to Compare

The DEWALT DCB115 and DCB118 each charge one battery at a time; the DCB118 adds a fan-cooled charging arrangement rather than four separate docks.

Questions From My Build

Why Did I Stop Relying On This Four-Port Charger?

Sometimes it would not charge a battery. At other times it stopped and showed a full charge while the battery indicator still showed less than full.

What Chargers Do I Use Now?

I now use my two single DEWALT chargers instead. My review records that choice after the inconsistent results with this charger.
