1+3 and 2+4 for definite I would love to send you the schematics mate but with them only being on the works computer and they get every circuit ever made and being confidential I cant but there is never anything to stop me answering questions

No worries about sending the schematic

So it would seem there are 2 charging channels split between 1+3 & 2+4 then?

toots, there's no problems charging 18350's and 18650's at the same time, I do it all the time

I have just taken a look at the charging circuit diagram on my computer and looking at the board and the way that the currant flows through the thyristors on the board I would not mix different types of battery as the different characteristics of different batterys and differing heat levels would make the charging circuit unstable sorry for being technical but I think you know what I am saying stick to one type of battery and don't mix them I could delve a lot deeper into the technicalities but it would get to complicated for most even though I think you DiscoDes could probably understand what I was going on about but I will leave it at that stick to 1 type mate

Oh, so we take no notice of their precautionary number 3 text: When charging different battery types simultaneously (for example, li-ion 26550 and AAA), always ensure solid contact is made between both sides of the battery and the charging slot's metal contact points

Why do they state that then ??? in their instructions. Oh well, I have been charging up a 18350 battery along with a 18650 battery - coz I've only got one 18350 battery until I get my next delivery of batteries from fasttech, which hopefully should be sometime this week or early next week.

if you have been charging 2 batteries 1 at 18350 and 1 at 18650 that wont have been a problem as they will have both of been the same chemistry so will have both been the same heat level hope this helps toots

yes 2 charging circuits still love this charger

ronaldo, cheers good to confirm that, I didn't want the schematic as I gave up circuit porn years ago.

E: just saw that was not directed a me anyway, I'll just get my coat

I cant get enough of circuit porn at my age its the only porn I get

I'm surprised at you, someone in your position should never to spill water based liquid near live electrics Tease-smiley

Thanks all for the massive amount of help and input Coolfire and charger ordered
