Title: Korad KEl102 rebranded Stamos Soldering S-LS-60 any opinions?
Post by: nightfire on January 29, 2021, 07:10:43 pm
Well, as I am getting into doing some battery discharging, I look for a reasonable electronic load, that is able not to do only CC mode, but CP as well.
And some digital interface would be cool, too.

And I just stumbled over a Stamos Soldering S-LS-60, that looks like a rebranded Korad KEL102. As the Korad seems to have some solid reputation for the price, I am tempted to give it a try, especially since it is half the price of a Rigol or Siglent unit...

Does anyone have some experience about Stamos Soldering as a company and maybe some subtle differences the rebranded products may have?
Here in germany I can get a genuine KEL102 from a well know reputable seller for around 300 including tax plus shipping, and the Stamos  goes for around 225 including everything...

Ok, I dediced to buy it- the device has just dropped from the delivery van, is getting accustomed to room temperature and I already opened it...

On the PCB it reads: Korad_LOAD V3.0 20200709

Does anyone know how to read that? Date of PCB revision?
