Any recommendations for a charger to charge 18350 batteries? The ones I have is a 3.7v 900mha. Ordered the batteries, but forgot how I was going to charge them.

18350's bit of a memory now, but when using I bought an Xstar one, no idea of model and its lost in great junk heap, but it was a dinky little thing, took a mini usb, which shows how out of date, but bloody handy travelling as so small, and never let me down even on weird USA voltages.
Just thinking might have been nitecore, but anyway think it was a MPV2 or something similar. Or I might just be confused in old age lol.

Nitecores are good chargers. The d2 and d4s are great if you like digital displays but the i2 and i4s are cheap as chips now. might have been the mc2 mart166

I bought a mini Xtar one from a popular Vendor. It needed spacers.... looking back, it was an annoying thing....
SO - get one that doesn't need spacers.
I use a D2 now. I think it does most sizes.

I think all the Xtar that need spacers are discontinued, but any Xtar or Nitecore charger that is speced for 18350 will be good Bobsbeer. If you get one with selectable charge rates use the lowest (300 - 500 mA) for 18650, the high drain ones maybe more but you would need to check the spec for the battery.

Thanks all. I've ordered a Nitecore i2 off fleabay. did look at the Xtar MC2 as I wondered if USB charging might be useful, but decided I have too many things plugged into my USB's so adding another was going to crowd things a bit.
