Can any one recommend a reasonable charge for 18650 batteries? Needs to be from somewhere like Argos or Tesco so I reserve it then pick it up.
The one I ordered back in June still hasn't turned up from Fasttech it left Hong Kong on the 6th so I would have thought it would have arrive by now.
I leave for a Scout Jamboree on Sarutday and I am starting to panic that I won't have enough battery power to last me the week without being able to charge the batteries fully. The Ego T mod charges them enough for home use but not going away.

I have been using one of these for a month, it arrived in 2 days and does the job well. Obviously it's not from Argos but I don't think they do 18650 chargers. If you have a Maplin store nearby then you could try one of these, but it's dear for what it is. I just don't think many highstreet retailers stock 18650 batteries or chargers(yet)

Thanks Raid, but if I order it today, estimated delivery is Saturday:(
However at only £6 including p&p worth a try, so order placed. Thank you.

This is probably a stupid question but can't you just take your standard Ego T charger with you for use as needed?

This is probably a stupid question but can't you just take your standard Ego T charger with you for use as needed? Very limited access to electric given its camping g with 2500 others and I would have to pay £1 for 2 hours worth of charging. I have enough batteries providing I can charge them fully before I go. 4 x 18650 2 x Riva 1 Ego and 1 Ego vv. Looks like a good find chuck might order it as well. Not a bad price. If the one from Fasttech ever turns up I will send it back. Thank you.

Yeah it's a great price and even better with the discount code. I was pretty surprised when it was actually in stock being so cheap. I'll be using vape it in future, brilliant service.

It does look good thank you. The vape-it charger should arrive today, tomorrow at the latest and then the one Raid suggested should arrive by Saturday and will come on camp with me just in case I need to charge any batteries, but hopefully not, really don't want to pay their prices for charging knowing 2 hours is not long enough.

I did buy 2 solar charger power banks from Fasttech, but they only worked once so I have had to return them. Looking at the weather forecast for the week ahead its not good. There are flood warnings in the area of the camp at the moment!

So you'll be having a sea scouts trip then rather than just a scout/cub camp....
I can see the flag waving already LOL
