Having ordered a UDT-L mod and a couple of Efest 18350 button tops from vapegear (will get a couple of protected 18650s soon) I think I better get a charger too lol

what are you guys using to charge your 18350/18650 batteries? have been looking at these 2 tonight

Trustfire TR-003

Nitecore Intellicharge i4 V2

any other recommendations?

I use a tr-005 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TrustFire-TR-005-26650-25500-26700-18650-16340-CR123A-BATTERY-CHARGER-UK-STOCK-/221201680152?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Battery_Chargers&hash=item3380a5c718

Cheap, also works on my 18350s, but only charges one at a time.

Cigarettes are like squirrels. They're perfectly harmless until you put one in your mouth and set it on fire.

thanks giles

but that ebay page says..

This charger is the quickest I've seen. Generally a decent charger will charge at 500mA per channel, you do get the odd few that will charge at 900mA or 1000mA per channel. This charger charges at 1500mA.

I'm not sure I'd want to be charging 800mah 18350s with a 1500mah charger :-/

In the spirit of having backups for your backups, I have both the Nitecore and the Xtar snickering_smiley

One advantage of the Nitecore is that it can also charge NiMH AA and AAA batteries, which is handy.

EDIT: just noticed that digicig already mentioned the bit about NiMH
