ThiEye Dual Battery Charger

For front-mounting filters, I have these three in mind:

A 40.5mm
http://www.ebay.com.my/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=40.5MM+UV+Filter+Lens+Cover+Set+for+GoPro+Hero+4/3+/3+Camera+Accessories+.*&_sacat=0

OR a smaller 37mm

I am unsure which one will fit the t5e but for a couple bucks I am willing to try them both, instead of the larger 52mm, common for the hero5.

OR this even smaller one:

I am getting all this 3 style and see how it goes.
But I see you found some good options too. If the above fail I might try your options. Whatever it is, we have no choice but to try them all, guinea pigs we are, LOL

That's all you can do, buy a few and hope. Luckily pretty cheap and some are still quite good quality.
We at least know the SJ4000 cap/filter will not fit. Hopefully Hero versions might. :)
 
I have finally got some time to mod a new battery charger (fitting i30 & i60 only) for my T5e, and it took about 15 minutes to finish the job.

The battery + & - notches match perfectly to the charger. Once latched on, it is quite firm so I don't have to find a way to close-off the exposed edge.

All I have to use is only a craft knife to score lines and a flat file. P1000821.jpg P1000823.jpg P1000824.jpg P1000825.jpg P1000826.jpg P1000827.jpg P1000828.jpg

Now i have a dual-battery charger working perfectly for my T5e;)

Yes that's the idea. Good job.
ThiEYE even better than the SJ4000 clone chargers. The charging pins are at same end so you can have 2 slots.
My clone has alternate slots so only 1 can be cut.
This original from SJCAM direct is no good, pins wrong end. So remember, only buy cheap SJ4000 clones not NAME brands LOL

Or pre-cut version from GearBest LINK. Not sure of size though and still needs a bit of filing I would imagine.

Hopefully it's good for charging batteries and not charring them... he he...LoL

Has your Do-It-Yourself charger been working OK? No over or undercharging? Batteries still OK/ Thinking of making one of these myself...

Hi! Yes, the charger works perfectly 100%! No issues at all! I don't know if there's any over/undercharging but I don't really care so long I have 2 batteries standing by. Even if they expire sooner they are very cheap. However I still get plenty of battery time enough to satisfy me and not suspecting any issues with it. Hope this help:)

I can't seem to find a source for the Thieye dual charger to be sent to the USA. Amazon UK lists them, but states that they cannot go to the US. Anybody found a US source? Thanks, Andy

EBay?
I know nothing about Thieye. Would batteries for i60/i60e fit?
Also there were listings for another battery name when I typed in thieye, but none for T5e
Before buying the SJ7 STAR I considered the t5e but lack of batteries made it a no go.
A 4k action cam without extra batteries is none-starter!

The ThiEYE Chargers available are for i30/i60 cams only. They haven't released a charger for T5/T5e yet. Batteries are bigger (longer) and don't fit any current charger on the market that I have seen.
.
Maybe the Andoer AN7000 batteries are the same and have a charger?

EDIT - AN7000 us S1050 (1050mAh) batteies which are same size of the T5e FA1100 battery.

ThiEYE say chargers "Coming soon" when asked.

Hi gia_fux, I got mine from a local seller here in Malaysia and I am not sure if they will do overseas postage but anyway, here's the link: https://www.lelong.com.my/thieye-i3...rger-ykonlineshop-I5368712-2007-01-Sale-I.htm

and it's so cheap!

Take notice that the dual charger is meant for Thieye i30/i60 batteries and needed to be modified as shown above (please scroll up for the mod) for the T5e battery to fit coz the T5e battery is a little larger than the i30/i60.

Good luck!
 
Home work done fully functional dual charger thanks to bob santos :)
 
so.. whats the cheapest source for second batteries for the t5e?
I have not found any yet. Happy for someone to point me in the right direction.
