I have the intellicharger i4 and it does seem a slow charger. However, isn't charging batteries slower better for the life span of the battery and a safer way to charge ?

The title was a bit of fun for my 500th post, but the question was a genuine one.
I know I need more than two batteries for my Vamo, so I'll get another 2/4 come pay day and perhaps consider an i4 to use alongside the i2. Finding 4-5 hours a week to charge enough batteries for the Vamo to get me through the week is doable. The 26650s I might have to charge overnight from time to time, not something I want to do, but needs must.

I would stay away from the LUC, I had one and had to send it back as it overcharged and I not the only one. Useful info, cheers. I rushed into the charger and battery thing because I bought some VW batteries from FT that were DOA. I'm fine with the i2 I only have to charge one battery a day I can live with that That's exactly what happened to me. I got a couple of Ego V3's and a Twist one broke the other was DOA all came from FT and I just couldn't be bothered to go through all the hassle of sending them back to be replaced knowing the replacements might be DOA too. Like you I thought sod it I'll get something more solid and ended up with the Vamo V5 and the i2. I'm very happy with both
