[A. Ross]

if anyone would recommend it or has one?

I'm pretty sure these are icharger 206b clones and they use their own firmware, I don't think they are compatible with cheali

Stock FW does not matter. It is all about MCU used inside. ARM or AVR (ATmega) MCU based chargers can be supported. No charger supported with cheali had internal log storage yet. So there is no build to just flash it.

It would be interesting to know, what is inside. older ichargers seems to use AT...51 MCUs (not supported).

The reason I became interested in Cheali Charger in the first place, was because years ago I purchased an icharger 106b+, with the promise of future firmware updates.
Then LiHV batts came out, and this person that makes icharger, posted online that he would never make a firmware update further again.
I then started looking into this and now have 8 chargers on Cheali Charger.
I don't believe I will ever buy a charger again which isnt supported by Cheali Charger.

So if one wants a charger that will never get another firmware update, latest firmware is 2010 by Junsi/icharger, then by all means, buy an icharger or clone.
That's seven year old firmware.

I would also be very interested if processor (PIC) is cheali compatible,
does someone have an answer ?

Seems to be incompatible: look here. I am not aware of any AVR or ARM base mcu in PLCC package.

Here are some guesses about Atmel 8051 MCU. As noted before, 51 based MCUs won't be supported. Not enough resources for cheali.
