stewarty Yes it was baught in the uk at local B&M i did go back in and say there was no plug and they gave me the shaver adapter i did think it was rather odd but never gave it alot of though at the time. I have since stopped going to this shop as they were selling FT stock x4/5 what they paid for it and passing it off to the unaware as genuine kit,i vowed never to go back and if this charger is bad i`d sooner buy another than take it back ( they`d probally re box it and sell it )

lairey thanks,thats the exact same one i have though its the 2 bay one,with a usa/eu two pin prong Am i right in thinking i could replace the plug on the end with a suitable fuse ?? Edit Saying that for the sake of peace of mind i might just get a new one so i know its a real deal and not a clone? do they clone chargers ?

I have been using it for a while now and never came across any issues i just noticed it with the new efest bats i have to be brutal honest i thought it was wrong to supply a charger for uk with a usa plug and be told to use a shaver adapter pointers on a good charger cost no concern

I have an inteli v2 charger from nitecore
Charges my other batterys fine but i just got my efest protected ( black and gold from vapeescape)18650's had them on charge for half hour and the charger is hot and smells like "hot/burning electronics" ? the cells themselfs were warm as if you had them held in your hand for a while should i be worried ?
This specific charger dose not have a UK plug and is fed via a shaving adapter if that makes any difference ? i never noticed the smell or heat before there off charge now untill i know where i stand
