Battery charger

[striker42]

Can anyone recommend a decent battery charger that will take a 20700 battery without squashing it in ?

No, not upto date, but if you got a 20700 cradle you could make a converter with 60 mm bit of wood with a brass screw in each end to fit in an 18650 charger bay and run a wire from each screw to the 20700 cradle connections.

You trust him to do that? Lol

If you can't get a 20700 cradle you could solder a couple of disk magnets to the ends of the wire, but would need to be careful EG just cable tie them to a pencil so they couldn't touch each other.

I have seen him in action a few times, good man in a storm kind of bloke, plus I'm sure he has a nephew that could do it for him.

ETA IIRC he regularly fixes gillybeabs mods, so nah bother.

Might make one using this


Don't know how safe it would be, but I'm sure VapingBad will let me know if I'm being a nob.

The new Intellicharger is supposed to be able to cope with 20700 - don't know if it is available yet though - goes off to have a quick look - found it: www.nitecore.co.uk/Shop/Products/Chargers/13426-Nitecore-New-i4-Intellicharger.html#Description

Ive got a big bag full of these if you want a couple to try out.
They are a slow charge IIRC.
I think there 500milliamps max

It will be fine, I have made few but they fry if you connect the battery arse-verse.  See comment about magnets if you can get a cradle.

The pic is an old one (mini not micro USB) the ones I got maybe 18 moths ago were 1 A which could be changed by changing a resistor.  I Have posted about them here somewhere TP4056 cheap on ebay

Thanks Bob. I've had a rummage round the net and there is conflicting information on it. Might just knock up a DIY number to get me bye at the moment.
